You know whats crazy? The Rams' current stadium is less than 25 years old, yet there's talks of a NEW STADIUM. :mindblown: In the talks of a new stadium, do any critics bring up that the Rams don't need a new venue because they already have a relatively new stadium?
It's kind of crazy. Basically, the Rams signed a lease with the dome where the dome had to be a top tier stadium or else the Rams had the option to void the remainder of the 30 year lease and go year to year. This "top tier stadium" thing was never defined per say, just had to be top tier with suites and amenities and all that shyt. A few years ago, the Rams and the people owning the dome disagreed on the cost to renovate the dome to make it "top tier." It went to arbitration, and the arbitrator ruled that the Rams and Kroenke had the proposal that is closer to the language of being "top tier."

What this shyt all means is that the people in STL created whatever lease was most favorable to the Rams to move them here, not thinking that 20 years later there'd be an owner here that would use that as leverage to void the lease and move the team to another city.

ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Rams and owner Stan Kroenke view their current home as a two-sport city that should no longer include football and offers a stadium plan that would not appeal to any NFL team, they told the league in their application for relocation to Los Angeles.

In the final section of that document, which was filed to the NFL on Monday, the Rams indicate that St. Louis has fallen so far behind economically that it can no longer support three professional sports teams. Also, the Rams indicate that the stadium proposal put forth by Missouri Governor Jay Nixon's task force and the St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority (RSA) does not appeal to them, let alone any NFL team.

"No NFL club would be interested in the RSA's New St. Louis Stadium," the application reads. "Any NFL Club that signs on to this proposal in St. Louis will be well on the road to financial ruin, and the League will be harmed."

:wow:

The Dubs are owned by the billionaire Oracle dude right? Mark Davis isn't even in that realm. He's poor compared to the Warriors owner. He can't build his own stadium by himself. The Raiders and the Cal Bears should've done something together while Cal was remodeling their stadium
This is what I always wondered. Or at least play there temporarily while they negotiate with the city. But it's pretty obvious he wanted to go to LA.

Sure. Cause Mark Davis wants to play in a larger stadium....
When they have to block off seats to sell out the Coliseum....
In a place with no luxury boxes, and where a good chunk of their seats are still bench rows, even after the renovation.
In a place that was first built in 1923.
On top of an active fault line.
