The city of St. Louis bent over and still couldn’t keep the Rams. The cities of Oakland and San Diego are basically pushing their teams out of town but still have them.

Okay.

I like how you think!
-St. Louis

St. Louis makes no sense for the Raiders. The city is done with the NFL and Marc Davis doesn’t have the money.

The NFL is done with St. Louis and St. Louis is done with the NFL. No more bad owners that failed in their previous home.

Just further proves that there is nothing St. Louis could have done to keep the Rams.

My only thought about this is why the hell was she flying Los Angeles > Austin > London? Why connect in Austin for the one flight they have going from there to London? It’s hard to count with codesharing but there are plenty of non stops flying directly from LAX to London.

Other mid market NFL cities/fans: be afraid. After US Bank Stadium in Minnesota ($1 billion), Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta ($1.4 billion) and Stan’s stadium in Inglewood ($2.6 billion) open there’s going to be a whole new wave of “we need public money” for stadium upgrades or new palaces celebrating excess.

Inglewood for the Oscars? That’s extremely laughable.

The Cardinals are updating the outfield video screens and all the in-stadium TVs this year: all on their own dime. That’s why the lights have been partially on at Busch for the last few weeks.

Almost every other arena that opened in the mid 1990's has had some sort of significant updates costing between $50 million and $150 million. The Scottrade Center is pretty much the only one around 20 years that hasn’t been upgraded.

There’s no building wifi, piping and wires are exposed, lighting/paint/tile is…

Everyone who’s a fan of a mid sized market team should be scared. The NFL is going to step right over you, change the rules and do whatever they want in the drive for more money.

Meanwhile they’ll fine players for honoring their lost family members with tiny little writing on the eyeblack patches.

Page 163 of the NFL Bylaws and Constitution:
“the Executive Committee further believes that St. Louis is a strong venue for NFL football and will suitably serve as a League home city.”
No other city gets that mention in the 292 page document governing the NFL.
