Buyers looking into Rams sale
Rams owner Chip Rosenbloom confirmed that he has been approached about selling the team but reiterated his family's interest in keeping the football franchise in St. Louis, its home since 1995. "When a team is passed from one generation to another, it becomes a calling card that the team must be for sale," said Rosenbloom, who became the team's chairman after his mother, Georgia Frontiere, died in January. "Nothing has changed since my mom's passing. We've been approached by several people. And while we deal with her estate, I can assure you we have every intention of keeping the Rams in St. Louis." A National Football League source told the Post-Dispatch that the sale of the Rams is being discussed in league circles.

I hope he is being upfront about this...... St Louis has supported the Rams from the get go.

PS The revenues for any team moving into LA would far exceed most other markets. Just goes to show what not having an NFL-class stadium - the Colosseum ain't it - will do to you.

I know, George. That's what I'm afraid of...... we've already had one NFL team leave (due to Bidwill's idiocy), it would be awful to lose another. The Rams are so supported by the STL fans, though, I can't see the NFL wanting this to happen. Especially now that Tags is gone.

"Lame fan base"!?! That's just ignorant, "bill sl". St. Louis is often regarded as having the most knowledgeable sports fans in America.
To me it sounds like you've confused the Santa Claus-booing, Michael Irvin injury-cheering, battery throwing idiots in Philadelphia with the great sports fans of St. Louis.

...That being said, I actually DO think that the Rams will move back to Los Angeles. Rosenbloom is choosing his words TOO carefully if you know what I mean. When asked if they were going to move the Rams, his first denial was "I'll remind you that we're under lease with the City of St. Louis." His second was "WHILE WE DEAL WITH HER ESTATE, I can assure you we have every intention of keeping the Rams in St. Louis." Those aren't exactly the types of denials that have me feeling confident that the Rams are going to be staying in St. Louis for the next generation.

M-a-r-s - Amen on your first post......
On your second post, sadly, I am afraid that you might be onto something. I don't think I trust Rosenbloom, and he does seem to be choosing his words carefully. This will be a crying shame if the Rams go back to the fair weather fans in LA

I don't like the stadium, but I think STL fans are pretty good ones. Busch Stadium is one of the best places to see baseball in America. One of the worse fan bases is SF and LA isn't far behind. Crappy place for football or baseball. Of course, as we learn from "South Park," people in SF love the smell of their own f arts. People in LA try to sell them. (BTW, I grew up in NorCal.)

Good comments, George. People don't have to like the stadium, but bill sl,'s contention that it is outdated and dumpy is off the mark. The Dome is only 13 years old, and the acoustics are not good, but it is not a "dumpy" stadium. St Louis fans are not lame at all......Particularly when compared to LA fans
