Who won and who lost in the NFL’s relocation to Los Angeles?

The St. Louis Rams now cease to exist. Enter the return of the Los Angeles Rams and the NFL back in the City of Angels. On Tuesday night, it was finally made official that the Rams would be returning to Los Angeles after the franchise had left in the ’90s.

For years there has been talk of when the NFL would return to the large market, but nothing had seriously transpired. As multiple teams began finding themselves in need of new stadiums and not having the financial backing to build one, relocation became a real option for the league.

While the San Diego Chargers or Oakland Raiders could still end up making their way to Los Angeles to join the Rams, the only team that is for sure going to be playing in Los Angeles for the time being is the Rams.

With such a big move as the relocation of a professional sports franchise, comes many ramifications. While it’s great for owners, teams and potentially new cities, it’s also bad for others and causes many financial implications.

This move will be no different on many levels. Here are the winners and losers of the NFL’s relocation to Los Angeles.
