Question!: Are you gentleman Rams Fans or St. Louis Fans!? I personally am a Rams Fan and have been for many, many years. As you all well know!! The Rams could be coming to us from " Bum-freak-Idaho" and I'd still be a "Rams Fan!!

Just me, but I think that might be a bit unfair to the residents of St. Louis, Dave ??? I feel the same way that you do, but I don't live in St. Louis (I grew up in the San Fernando Valley)...To be sad, upset, whatever, because your team moves, doesn't mean you'll no longer be a fan...

Here's the thing Dave. I can get the line of thought if I was in a neutral area, Texas, Indiana, Hawaii, w/e. But I became a STL Rams fan. The city is close to me, literally and figuratively (some of my earliest roadtrip memories was me hanging out in the floating McDs near the Arch). I watched the STL Rams win a Super Bowl and got through 6 wins in 3 seasons. Marshall Faulk and Steven Jackson to the likes of Ken Darby and Keith Totson.

The city does mean a lot, and I have thought about any potential positives about being an LA Rams fan. I'm sure I"ll get over it, but man it'll sure be hard.

I too had an adjustment period when the team moved to St. Louis from L.A.! So I know the feeling!

I live in STL county and was born and raised in STL and would like to see the new stadium built and the Rams remain here! If it's not going to happen, I
ll still be a Rams fan. Short sighted or paid off alderman not looking out for the welfare of STL with jobs and ridding downtown of a blighted area is a shame!
