Might the St. Louis Rams be headed back West? Seems a little odd to suggest, especially since the powers that be in St. Louis are currently doing what they can to get the Rams a new stadium. But if such is to fail Pro Football Talk reports they are the likely favorites to move to Los Angeles if there is to be a relocation of a franchise in the next few seasons.
"Of the three teams viewed as the most likely to move — the Rams, Raiders, and Chargers — the team viewed by the NFL as most likely to make the move is the Rams."
Many have felt the San Diego Charges, given their rather close proximity to the Los Angeles area would be the ideal franchise to move though the year-to-year lease the Rams currently hold with Edward Jones Dome could be a reason as to why St. Louis is the favorite.
The Rams franchise of course moved to St. Louis after the 1994 season and have achieved solid success with two Super Bowl appearances in that time (one victory). Before relocating to St. Louis the Rams had played in L.A. since 1946 and would obviously be welcomed back if they were eventually relocated.
If the St. Louis Rams (or any other team) are to play in Los Angeles it’s possible their new stadium would be located near Hollywood Park though that’s educated speculation at this point. There has also been talk of a downtown stadium though such would prove to be more difficult from a logistics standpoint and would likely be tied to AEG.
Either way it has likely created a sense of urgency for those in the St. Louis area trying to get a new stadium proposal accepted.
