This is so sad.

I don't get why teams want to be in LA. I guess it makes sense for the Lakers and maybe the Dodgers, but football? They'd probably get better attendance and fan support in Biloxi, MS.

And before anyone says money, please stop. Just being in the NFL makes you a multibillion-dollar organization, the rest is just marketing and on-field performance.

Stan Kroenke married into the Walton family. It’s the nfl. It’s always money. Build a new stadium in St. Louis or LA?

I understand wanting to leave STL, but I don't understand moving to LA when it's literally never worked out long term. Just watch what happens to the Rams over the next few years. They spent big and mortgaged their future to get a SB that apparently nobody is even celebrating, and for the better part of the next 10 they'll be getting spring training crowds.

My buddies condo downtown is higher than 8 stories, no this isn't Omaha......

That's only one side of downtown too, more building behind it.

Are they bbq restaurants?

The Lakers came from Minnesota and the Dodgers came from Brooklyn. I think sports can work in LA.

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume the Rams will be ok if they have to dismantle the team in a few years while streaming and network services outbid themselves to death.

Here were the streets of Philly. Ram's fans just have other things to do.

I literally couldn't get reception to meet up with people I was trying to meet up with that day. Cincy would have had a very good parade. LA is so transient, and they just never bought into football like they have basketball and baseball.

Attendance will be fine because LA is a warm weather city and away fans will travel in the winter to go. If the Eagles play there I could go and spend a long weekend in 75 degree weather, sit by a beach, and go see my team play in a fancy ass football stadium. It just might not be home attendance that's too high.

Some sports can, but it's not a football town and I think they're going to move again. I remember there being empty seats all over the Coliseum when USC was on a 30 some game winning streak. If that (and the low prices that came with it) didn't put asses in seats, then I don't think anything will.

The Rams are going to move from a stadium they paid for from a top 2 market?

LA isn't a top 2 football market. Maybe for media and intravenous drug use, but not football. I wasn't aware they paid for their own stadium though.

But yeah, there's a reason teams have moved before and that parade is a good demonstration of why. A sports team without any fan support and the spending they bring is.. what exactly? Then again, Miami seems to keep teams somehow.

Are they bbq restaurants?

Yes and they know how to deal with snow.w

Maybe all of those LA Football fans prefer the LA Chargers?

The Bengals should have won, being a six year fan isn't deserving of a title..... The Rams are going to shit anyway as they mortgaged their cap and draft for this.

Oh for sure. They knew they were selling their souls for the short-term. To their credit though, they did win the title though. Now they have a long rebuild ahead unless the vets take pay cuts.
