N.F.L. owners have approved the St. Louis Rams’ move to the Los Angeles
St Louis Rams Owner Stan Kronke
The decision, in a 30-2 vote among the league’s 32 team owners, comes after more than a year of often acrimonious lobbying by the Chargers, the Raiders and the Rams, who each applied to move to the Los Angeles area last month because, they said, they were unable to get enough public support to build new stadiums in their markets.
At least 24 owners had to vote in favor of the move for it to gain approval.
St. Louis fans reacted with anger, and civic leaders said the N.F.L. disregarded their efforts to keep the team.
In a year or 2 The San Diego Chargers have the option to move their team as well!
The Rams will build a glass-roofed stadium that could cost nearly $3 billion, easily the most expensive building in sports.
If an agreement is reached between the Rams and the Chargers, the Rams will play temporarily at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum — previously the home to the Rams, the Chargers and the Raiders and the site of two Super Bowls, including the first, in 1967 — starting in August 2016.
Where the Chargers would play temporarily is unclear.
Stan Kronke owns 60 acres of land in Inglewood California which could be the new home of the Rams!
