Personally think it was better than both the LA Coliseum AND the EJD.
Had season tics 45 degrees off the end zone, way high up and loved watching from there.

I still say that was the worst venue for football that I’ve ever watched a game in. And STILL the Rams would pack the place until Georgia and her clown show destroyed the franchise and its LA fan base.

It was terrible. And don't get me started on the the baseball infield of clay running straight through our FOOTBALL field.

Fun shit though seeing that time capsule of the early eighties preserved in those clips.

Yes it was a cool clip.

My biggest problem with the place was that I remember having something like 11th row tickets around the 40. I was thinking they’d be great seats. They were like a mile away from the benches. Also, the place was packed and even though you could see everyone cheering and shouting, I could still hear the QB call the snap. Just weird. The acoustics sucked. It was like they were reversed from what you’d want for a home field advantage.

I still say Georgia got her idea to move out of LA from the movie Major League. However, in RL, the players were not able to overcome the owner.

You’re likely not wrong. The movie however, was inspired by the witch.

Yeah but it came out in 1989 and she didn't move the team until 1995.

So which came first - the witch or the movie lol

89 is when the Rams signed a deal with Anaheim that allowed the rams to move in 5 years. Anaheim needed the Rams to sign to allow a building project for the Angeles and the Rams wouldn't without that clause. That same year the NFL started the expansion project that had 5 cities vying for 2 teams. St Louis was one of them. When the voting came around on what 2 cities would get teams, in 93, the Rams pushed heavily against St Louis. Duh!!

I think she had wanted to move to St Louis for years before 89. Al Davis gave her inspiration, the fucker. NFL and Anaheim gave her opportunity to make it happen. Major League showed her how to slide out of town.

Major League was not inspired by the witch, but I can't deny its parallels.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097815/trivia/?ref_=tt_ov_ql_3

From IMDB:

The Rachel Phelps character and her plan to move the Indians was inspired by real-life Minnesota Twins owner Calvin Griffith. In the 1970s, during the planning stages of constructing the Metrodome stadium, Griffith had negotiated for an escape clause in the team's lease which said that if the Twins' home attendance was under 1.4 million per season for three consecutive years, the team could be released from its contract and leave Minnesota. Like the Phelps character, Griffith let quality players depart via free agency and used cheap, inexperienced rookies and has-beens. The Twins lost 102 games in their first year in the Metrodome in 1982, then 92 games the year afterward, with attendance under 900,000 in each of those seasons. A group of investors from Tampa bought 42 percent of the team, and the Twins were on the verge of moving to Florida. To many fans, it appeared that Griffith had weaseled the escape clause into the contract and set up the roster so he could put it into practice. The situation was avoided when Griffith sold the Twins to banker Carl Pohlad. The Tampa group sold its minority stock to Pohlad, and the Twins remained in Minneapolis.

I never said that the witch inspired Major League. I stated that Major League inspired the witch.

He’s talking to me. According to some websites, it states the plot was influenced by the witch. There may have been more than one influencer from the movie. I never stated the witch was the only influence.

An owner who causes your team to tank & then blames the city & bolts for greener pastures? Shame on that Georgia lady!!
