NFL Relocations

[Tom190797]

Hey everyone,


My name’s Tom and I’m from London in the UK. I’m a big football fan but here in the UK, teams never relocate or move cities and that got me really interested in how it works over in America. Its quite an alien concept for us here. Now that its been 4 years since the Rams left St Louis and moved to L.A, I was interested in how all the fans felt about it, both then and now. I like the Rams because I enjoy watching the games and seeing their players play, but maybe that’s because I’m from England and didn’t grow up with them around me? How do fans feel about relocation, especially one like The Rams for example as the 2 cities are so far apart?


I think its really interesting and I’m actually doing some research on the difference between sports fans in the USA and UK.. I’d appreciate any thoughts you guys had.


Thanks.

Nobody likes relocation.
LA hated it the times its happened to them and St Louis hated the times its happened to them also.

It always sucks for any town losing a team.... but the USA is kinda big, with lots of people moving to different states frequently, so you will find Rams fans in Maine, Dolphins fans in Alaska and Bills fans in San Diego.... fan bases here are localized but also representing fans across the country.

Welcome Tom! You're starting with a bang! (It's a very delicate subject you're bringing up)

We Are a Rams site here, not a location based Rams site.

This would be a question better asked, on a different web site
