The Californian metropolis Los Angeles gets after 21 years again a club in the National Football League (NFL). On Tuesday, the owner of the 32 clubs agreed at a meeting in Houston on to grant the removal request of the St. Louis Rams for the new season. They voted with 30: 2 votes for the Rams owner Stan presented by Kroenke stadium project near the airport.
In addition to the Rams also the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders had applied for a relocation to Los Angeles. All three clubs were already in Los Angeles at home. The Rams here 1946-1995 had their home before the move to St. Louis was made. The Raiders left LA a year later.
Rams owner Kroenke is planning a new, 70,000-seat stadium in the suburb of Inglewood end, to be built by 2019 for a total of $ 1.86 billion. Until then, the Rams are in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena or the Los Angeles Coliseum to play. “That was the most difficult decision before I ever got,” Kroenke said.
While in Los Angeles, the joy was great, there was harsh criticism from St. Louis. “The NFL ignored the facts, the loyalty of the fans in St. Louis, who supported the team by far more lows than highs, a strong market and a realistic plan for a new stadium,” said Mayor Francis Slay.
Los Angeles could not get the new season even a second NFL club. The San Diego Chargers have an option on a move to the north, up to the meeting of the club owners in March to a decision falls. The Oakland Raiders withdrew their request for a return to LA back however. Should refrain from the Chargers, however, they could step in.
