Opinion of the Rams moving back to LA?

LA is the second largest city in the US.  Why don't they deserve an NFL team?

That being said, I'd rather the Jaguars made the move.  Jacksonville doesn't seem like a good place for a pro sports team IMO.

Don't particularly care about the Rams (though having the NFC West make geographic sense is nice) but I'm interested to see what the second team will end up being. I'm also curious to know how the stadium's being funded, and whether it's going to close to the new Crenshaw line.

The NFC East doesn't make much geographic sense with my Cowboys, either.  And are they even planning on having a second LA team?  I'm not sure they need more than one.

I feel bad for St. Louis fans, but let's be real.  The Rams were in LA longer than anywhere else.  I see no reason why they shouldn't have a team.  Best of luck to St. Louis for getting another NFL team.

The Chargers have been given a year to decide if they're going to join the Rams in LA.  If they decline, then the Raiders may go instead.  Most likely the new stadium they're going to build there will house the Rams plus whichever of the other two teams wants to join them.

What if neither team chooses to go?

The state of Missouri and the city of St Louis simply couldn't come up with the extortion money the owner demanded, sad really.

Edward Jones Dome was frequently rated as one of the worst stadiums in the country and the league.  It only makes sense that Kroenke would want a new one.  But of course, the taxpayers of St. Louis are still paying for the Jones, so I can understand the hesitation on the part of city and state officials.
