From what I heard St. Louis sold out every home game. Is that not true? Even losing seasons and the fans still support the team? Sounds to me like the fans got hosed. The Rams should have stayed in St. Louis, the new owner should, instead of having to pay a billion dollars for a new team, he should be given a team and then its his responsibility to build a new stadium. Sounds like there is a market in St. Louis for a football team. Why are they being denied?true.another reason why LA was without a team for so long is while they badly wanted a tea,they have stood fast the past decade or so and said they did not want a team that required tax payers to foot the bill which is why they waited till now to have a privately funded team.You ever ask yourself why a market like LA doesn't have a football team when it's like one of the biggest market in the world? I'll tell you why. They use LA to get other cities to fund their new stadiums. If we as tax payers don't pay up, they'll leave.
So now not only do corporations not pay their fair share of taxes, some of them make us subsidize them financially or they'll leave. What a scam.
Why can't the Rams stay in St. Louis and LA start their own god damn team?
Keeping the Rams was not without its critics. A new stadium would've required hundreds of millions of dollars of public money.

that is why the greedy NFL owners tried really hard to stop the inglewood site and have carson built because since kroneke footed the bill with his OWN money and built it with his own dime,other cities will start wanting the same thing and tell the NFL-build your own damn stadium,you got the money. kroneke did it in LA,so can you
thats the way it SHOULD be.thats what these greedy owners are worried about now.lol
we can only hope they get wise and start catching on anyways.
the reason this time around was different than in years past that LA was being used as leverage for new stadiums in their cities is because just about every team around the country has gotten a new stadium or refurbished it so having the rams back in LA was the right time to stop using LA as leverage for other cities.
It was simple as pie to understand that this time was different and the rams would be back.st louis is bankrupt in millions of debt trying to pay off the CURRENT stadium,so it was laughable as hell to think they could get fund a new stadium.comedy gold.logic and common sense never registered with people around here like mad nutcase when i tried to explain that back then though just to watch it go through one ear and other the other with the,
that is WHY in the end they gave kroeneke the green light for the new stadium is because he agreed to house a 2nd team.so actually they STILL have the LA threat card they can use.![]()
