Future NFL team relocations

[Nightman]

Now I hear Disney wants to build a stadium in Carson for the Rams and Raiders, but there are all kinds of hoops to jump through with relocation according to the NFL.

This news is going to complicate things for Stan Kroneke and his desire to move the Rams to LA. The St. Louis Aldermen voted 17-0 to spend $150 Million on a new stadium in the city.

Looks like St. Louis is stepping up and is trying to show Stan they will support the Rams or if that still doesn't work maybe convince the Raiders or Chargers to move to St.Louis.

What would be poetic justice is if the colts pack up and move in the middle of the night.

The city of St. Louis has officially submitted their stadium bid to the NFL.

Chargers should go to L.A. Raiders and Rams stay put! But build a new stadium in San Jose for Raiders and still call them Oakland Raiders.They need get the hell out of that Coliseum

All 3 teams have officially submitted bids to relocate to LA.

[usmccharles]

If/when a team does move, mainly St Louis, does the NFL keep them in the NFC West? i would assume so since they are technically even closer to the rest of the teams.

Kreonke said "It would be a financial loss for a new stadium in St. Louis. "   Even the Browns fans jokingly put in a petition in to move their team to LA.

Apparently more information is coming out about the Rams bid for the relocation to LA and it seems like it favors the NFL a lot. They just don't envision 10 home games a year, but also the Pro Bowl, creating new office and studio space the NFL can use for NFL Network. They are also creating a venue that could host the NFL Draft. They even want the combine, and with 70,000+ fixed seats and standing room creating 30,000 plus more attendance, this would be pretty huge.

As I heard a month or two ago it would be a NFL version of Disneyland, along with an West Coast Annexfor the Hall of Fame as well as being a host for the 2020 Super Bowl.

If anything comes out of tomorrow's LA vote, this might be a clue to who moves to LA. There is momentum building toward the Rams & Chargers sharing the Inglewood Stadium. The only problem is that this stadium won't be completed until 2019, meaning where would the Rams and Chargers play until then? The LA Memorial Coliseum has told the NFL they would let a team play there until the stadium was built, but two teams?

Watching NFL Network right now, they say its getting closer to deciding the LA vote. It is expected the Rams will getbthe votes required to move to Inglewood. The Chargers meanwhile will be given the option to join the Rams in a joint deal.

No word what happens to the Raiders.

[Pats]

I dont want another plastic fairweather LA fanbase in the NFL. Hell the chargers can't even hold half a fanbase already.

[JO_75]

It's all over Twitter, the Rams to LA is a done deal. Rams will play in the LA Coliseum until the stadium is open in 2019. The Chargers can join the Rams next year or wait a few years.

Raiders staying in Oakland.

[ludy51]

So they're now the L.A Rams?

[JO_75]

Pretty much. Just waiting on official word, and we could have the LA Chargers as well. Guess a mod can updste the title of this thread now that this is all done now.

The city of St.Louis may not have a team but the state of Missouri still does. The Rams are leaving Missouri but the Chiefs still are in Kansas City, Missouri. Guess St Louis Rams fans can become Chiefs fsns maybe?

I understand Raiders will be given the opportunity to join the Rams in Inglewood if the Chargers refuse (since they wanted that Carson site).

From what NFL Network is reporting is the Chargers may wait on a vote that is supposed to take place in June. If the vote passes, they would get $350M in funds for a new stadium in San Diego.

Well, that option would make Mark Davis very unhappy. He would be forced to stay in Oakland but it seems he burnt all the bridges there after being shafted by local politians' promises for too long.

Thanks. And ouch, I kinda feel bad for these fans. 

[JO_75]

Just if anyone is curious.... Here are the teams who go to LA now to play the Rams.

49ers, Bills, Cardinals, Dolphins, Falcons, Panthers, Seahawks. The Giants game is played in London.

[RavensFanOfLA]

Would honestly rather see the raiders or chargers out here

Ravens in LA in four years time. LA's loss.

[Pats]

BOOOOOOOOO, the STL fans are shafted again and there team is moving to crappy LA. My buddy is a rams fan hes gonna be crushed.

[Clmraven]

Can't help but feel bad for the rams fans, they've had to deal with a mediocre team for years now and it's sorta starting to look up and now they're moving. If Kroenke was smart he'd drop that loser fisher, or else those fair weather LA fans will be very disappointed when they deal with another losing season.

[Pats]

Apparently kroenke just crapped all over the stl fanbase as a parting shot accoriding to rams fans

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

My old man grew up a Rams fan. Was crushed when they moved to St. Louis. Is still mad at the team for moving there and will never forgive them. 

 

I have a burning hatred for them
