That's not happening. There will be two teams sharing that stadium. It's to grand a venue not to use as much as possible

they really didn't handle this well at all

happy for L.A but can't help but feel for the people of St Louis, they bent over backwards to try and keep them but Kroenke just spat in their face basically. Think the NFL may have killed off a city for any future bids, i highly doubt they would welcome the NFL back with open arms for at least another 10-15 years, i mean it would seem it would be in baseball, hockey and even soccers favor (MLS would be wise to put a team there, seems like they have good support for it to draw big)

In saying that, the Rams now will be forced to put together a really good team, it ain't going to look good with a 3/4 full coliseum (at best), which is what could happen if the rams are still as bad as they have been. L.A aren't going to be as patient with the Rams as St Louis was, the honeymoon period could be over very quickly if they don't put it together on the pitch.

It makes a lot of sense business wise now, but the way they handled it may have alienated an entire city (even if they had no business moving their in the first place)

I watch it casually, but never got interest since we didn't have a team for the longest time. Now thats changed.

Mmm.. I don't personally think they will need to win right away. The initial honeymoon will last 1-2 seasons where they will sell out all 8 games. You don't really go from pretender to contender in a 1-2 year span unless you have a significant jump in development from your quarterback - a position the Rams are lacking; among other improvements as well. I am pretty sure they finished dead last in every major passing category, and with the 15th pick it's highly unlikely they get their guy this year.

Although, there's always that possibility that Philip Rivers forces his way there...

well they'd need to be more than a 5 win team, they'd need to be at least near the playoff hunt i would think, so 7 games and up, at least showiong something

better than both but they need something that resembles a passing offense or teams will just stuff the box against them every time. Its what happened this year.

St. Louis fans suing the Rams. :lol:

Four St. Louis Rams fans are suing the team over its move to Los Angeles, with a suit centering around the purchase of game tickets and team merchandise, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch​.

The suit was filed in St. Louis circuit court, and says the Rams violated Missouri’s Merchandising Practice act, citing “deception, fraud, false pretense, [and] false promise.” The fans’ lawyer intends to turn the suit into a class-action case involving tens of thousands of fans who made Rams-related ticket or merchandise purchases over the past five years.

According to the law, merchandise sellers cannot deceive or leave out any “material fact” associated with their sales. In this case, the Rams’ relocation would serve as the basis for the deception as fans and purchasers seek damage payments.

The continual, repetitive reassurances from Rams owner Stan Kroenke and team reps over the past five years that the team would remain in St. Louis are listed in the court filing, emphasizing that the comments are of a misleading nature.
