I Love LA...

The Post-Dispatch ran a story earlier this week claiming to have had multiple sources stating that the Rams
had contacted Goldman-Sachs to facilitate a sale in the future. Many knew that
Chip Rosenbloom and his sister were short term owners due to tax penalties with their Mother’s estate.
This will prove to be a pivotal time should new ownership occur. One big issue is the lease that expires in 2015 with the St Louis Convention Center. Clauses were put in place for the stadium to be in the top 10 at that time. I suspect both parties felt a new stadium would be necessary to fulfill these clauses. It simply is too cost prohibitive for the city to come up with 200-250 million renovation.
Some speculate a grand return to LA. With investors and sites already lined up all they need is a team. My concern is not so much if they stay or go, but what type of ownership they get. Ownership for too many years has been the problem with this team with bad hires and management a byproduct of ownership.
I like St Louis and would never wish a city to lose its team. That being said if an owner emerges that
is far superior to anyone else I can tolerate a move if ownership is the right choice for the future of this team.
Go Rams!
