Rams moving to Los Angeles - Implications for Hawks

Will also probably be another home game away from home for 12's. I'd imagine lots of hawk fans around to gobble up tickets in that market.

I live 90 minutes south, so count me and mine in as one annual ticket gobbler!

The biggest effect has had no comments.

If they really are setting up a west coast NFL Experience type deal, and having the combine in LA, and setting up NFL offices in LA, and maybe having temporary Hall of Fame exhibits on a rotating basis, and a Super Bowl every four years, and so forth and so on, we're going to see a lot more attention on west coast teams in general. The time zone thing plays very much against the Seahawks when it comes to ESPN and other media outlets, simply because the sports writers are all focused on the main games in the time zones they are in. I think there will be a lot more of a "sports industry" in LA for football then there is now, given a few years when the new digs actually open up, and as a result I think all the west coast teams will get more exposure than they do now.

Los Angeles will attract more free agents to the rams than St. Louis did.

NFL isn't like the NBA, cities don't matter to players. The money is the motivation.
