RAMS gone...
- Thread starter wc3peat
- Start date
I know the rams were only in the building 10 times a year but what will become of the jones dome?
The convention center will now be able to schedule events all year.
This is not a surprise. Money talks and the guy with the most money talked the loudest
Maybe WC should of used it more last year
Hope Kroenke takes the great governor with him too. He can be his GM! He has done so great for our state. LA may have 3 teams in the city
It sucks that we won't have a professional team..but lets be honest...
The Rams were horrible 17 of the 21 years they were here. In some
years down right ridiculously horrible. Also, let's pull our heads out of
the sand..Kronke started threatening a break-up in 2002 after the dome
started falling apart..Honestly, this has been the worlds longest trial
separation, and yesterday Stan took the rest of his s#it and left town...
We deserved better, but we didn't get it..Period. And the NFL would've
approved a move to the South Pole if that's were Kronke wanted to go.
The NFL has no allegiance to St. Louis..never has...never will...

I know that some people are upset but its basically the same way that STL got the Rams to begin with.
Which one did you participate in? Did you have an actual hand in any of those?
The dome will do just fine. They will now be able to schedule a lot of new things
that they could not do with the rams sweetheart deal in place. The question now, is what will
happen to the rams complex in Earth City in Bridgeton. This is one outstanding practice complex.

You say that but this article written in 2014 talks about the $62 million hole and funding short falls to even pay for the dome when the Rams were there. What happens not that the Rams are leaving? I mean I guess you could pick up more conventions but part of the draw for a convention was possible going to a game that Sunday for entertainment. Also talks about the roof needing replaced. What about the turf no games will that be kept up just for high school championships. And who wants to play on turf that has Rams logos on it now that they have left the city high and dry?

and the way Arizona took the Cardinals, and the way LA took the Rams from Cleveland, and the way Kansas City took the Texans from Dallas. Yes LA should be an NFL city, but St. Louis should be as well.
Webb City can move there. We can treat them like a pro team and see better football too; at a less price! Win for everyone... I am all in! It does not matter how many he had a hand in. Those are sweet trophies!
The dome can host....COMICONS!!!! SO MANY COMICONS!!!! Or any type of con for that matter!
There are probably a few you don't want
I'm not glad to see them go, even though they have been a pretty crappy team in recent years. But at the same time, the thought of taxpayers helping replace a relatively new stadium to convince the team to stay for another few years was totally unpalatable to me. Especially considering the profitability of the NFL and what they charge for things. My interest in the NFL has dwindled in recent years because it pains me to support that organization in any way.
Honestly they need to bring in the Raiders and RG III or trade for Chase Daniels. They can play home and home series with the Chiefs every year! Wouldn't that be great!
Two NFL teams are still looking for stadiums, Raiders and Chargers what are the chances that St Louis goes after one of them?
Actually it's not. NFL screwed over the STL by not giving them the promised expansion team. Then Georgia moved the team after no support in LA from the city or fans. LA put up zero fight. Saint Louis got ********* into spending $16 mil on putting together a billion dollar plan.
LA will fail again. And it will be glorious. I hope they get destroyed as a team. I hope the fan attendance and typical LA support goes into the gutter the first few years.
Zero. Peacock nor the committee wants to go down that road again. It will be an expansion team if we ever get a team back.
People are always making remarks about WC posters, well scout has been taking veiled shots at WC a lot lately. Just sayin'
Not at all actually.
My #1 team, Kearney ....# 2 Webb....
Got a pretty good record last 15 years
What's in your wallet ? : )

I saw this LA Rams deal coming years ago.............once Hollywood Park closed it was basically a done deal. As for St. Louis don't be surprised if the Jacksonville Jaguars become the next team to relocate after Oakland-San Diego. My sense at this time is the Chargers (who started in the AFL in LA anyway) move to Tinseltown and the Raiders negotiate to share the new stadium down the Bay with the Niners.
Who cares where they started? The Rams didn't start in LA, why not move them back to Baltimore or wherever they came from.
STL will not take a team unless it's an expansion team. And Jacksonville isn't going anywhere. They actually have an owner who is working on a stadium deal.
Spanos will become Kroenke's boi and play in the Inglewood stadium.

The Rams actually were born in Cleveland interestingly enough. Were all the modern teams to revert to where they were born some would be real shockers (several long time NFL teams began in obscure cities in the rust belt). Expansion is an interesting possibility..............the NFL is likely to look into that in the coming years as I know they want to expand to Britain among other places.
