Never seen a city government that wouldn't get approval for a business venture that cost that government no tax money to build it! They wouldn't approve a Walmart on the piece of land Kroenke bought because it was a Walmart. A stadium/entertainment complex, no problemo! Just looking at what seems obvious to me! I think he's a co-owner when it's more apparent what's going on!

AFAIK, they still have to vote on the stadium being built there. Along with it beind directly under incoming air traffic to LAX. With the government implementing no fly zones over NFL stadiums during games, that seems like a major hurdle to overcome.

Yeah, the no building within 3 1/2 miles of the airport looks like the biggie for any stadium building. Hope it's a no go for a stadium in Inglewood so that the Rams can play in a MS riverfront stadium in a few years. Might be a ploy to get a Walmart built in Inglewood, who knows?

Sk sucks roach balls. But I still love the Rams wherever they may call home. My discussion of relocation is now over.

He's technically not building anything, yet.

Also, who's to say he'll own the stadium? Do you know what is endgame is? Everything to this point is speculation. Also, if it was for the Rams, why were they not mentioned in the proposal? Or the logo put anywhere on the drawings like you saw with the STL proposal?

As I saw one person put it, you don't announce to the world your hot new girlfriend when you're still married to your fat old wife.

It would have been incredibly stupid of Stan to put anything Rams on there though. If they do move, it will be announced after all ducks are in a row and they can go without needing to spend a season in St Louis. Its all speculation right now, but there is a lot of evidence to show he's very serious and St Louis is very close to losing the team. To deny it just hurts the cities chances.

If you're building a building for your team, it makes sense to include them on the plans. If it is truly a matter of time before the Rams move, then why would he really care?

Same reason why you don't announce you have royal flush when you're playing poker. Its just a matter of time, right?

I can root for the Rams if they're in LA but I hope there's a reason to build the proposed stadium on the river as it would be a good thing for the city/region to have a need for it!

You gonna start telling me how to be a fan along with posting absolutely meaningless videos. We can break this thread if you want to do, cause I don't really give a shit. My "loyalty" lies with my city, and community.

That's your right, but don't put your beliefs on other people. If people followed your example there would be far more Arizona Cardinals fans here. To each his own and for you to judge is not right. Now please cut this crap out because I'm sure this thread will be locked soon enough if it continues.

This thread has been very civil so far, but I'm telling you now that you are starting crap by posting these meaningless vids. Btw, I listen to 101 espn everyday and this past Friday Randy stated that he believed the Rams will stay in the end since you want to put one of his vids up.

There's not even a fucking point to posting them. No one disagrees with what is being said on either side.
