We really need one thread allocated to this topic.
Facts:
Dec 30 is the deadline for any city to submit their stadium proposal to the NFL.
Jan 4 is the date any team can file for relocation.
Jan 12-13 is the date that the NFL has called a sepcial meeting for all 32 team and it is expected the 32 will vote on relocation of any team who has requested to move.
It is expected that San Diego, Oakland, and St. Louis owners will file to move to LA.
It is also rumored, not known, that all parties have enough votes to block eachother and create a stalemate. It requres 24 to win, and 9 to block.
It is fact that StL is providing an "actionable" plan to the NFL by Dec 30. StL is proud of their plan, Kroenke has said zero.
On top of all of this, there are a zillion rumors, and a new article every day to spin it all......it's a mindblowing circus!!!!!

And I can guarantee you that Kroenke has the 9 to block.
Rumors are Spanos has way more than 9.
Jan 12 will not end this circus.

Portland/Oregon wouldn't spend the necessary coin to build a stadium and get a team here IMO. Would be a killer rivalry with the Hawks if they did though.Subzero717":3v2ad0lp said:

The Hawks wouldn't allow it. Portland is Seattle's territory.hawksfansinceday1":1bmaett8 said:

Well if the Rams don't move to LA then they should re-align the divisions. St. Louis is not west...Minnesota is further west than St. Louis. Geography 101.

Not really. They have more Packer/Niner fans than Hawks. On top of that Im not really sure that matters the way it does in baseball. Its wishful thinking on my part. I think its a great fit and I need as many excuses as I can to go to Portland.Sports Hernia":1byo8qmm said:

Yes! Thank you so much Lovely Laloosh. Loves.
oh, and YES to whomever said Rams fans are testy on this topic. Problem is there are two types of Rams fans - fans of St. Louis, the city, and then there are fans of the Rams, the NFL team.
We are all in a stranglehold by the NFL right now and directly pivoted against each other by the NFL design of this whole circus.
It will end soon.
You will get: the St. Louis fans in the AFC West, or the LA Fans in the NFC West.
Time will tell. I'ts like the mad hatter is enjoying his tea.
Update for facts:
All three cities presented "something" by the Dec 30 deadline.
#1
StL: a fully actionable plan. They bipassed a vote (which their MO State Legislator is protesting and has written a letter to Goodell telling him they WILL NOT fund the bonds the Gov of MO put in the plan).
StL also included a phantom $100 Million which Mcnair (Texans owner) told them to. He is on the LA committee. Goodell wrote a letter to St. Louis and told them this extra $100 Million is not approved by the NFL.
But, YES, technically - St. Louis has submitted an ACTIONABLE plan to the NFL.
#2.
San Diego submitted a 42 page proposal to the NFL. It calls for about the same amount of money from Spanos that St.L wants from Kroeke. BUT, and this is the big one: it needs a vote in San Diego in June of 2016.
Chargers response: No new info, no new response needed.
#3
Oakland submitted I think a 5 page letter offering a portion of some space by the C for building and 8k in parking spaces, no public money.
Davis response: I guess they just don't want to play with us.

Links to follow in case you are a relo masochist.
AND: all THREE owners have been called to New York NFL HQ next week for "talks."
the Vote is Jan 12-13 in Houston with all 32 owners.

What? you do know they built an Arch to the West and all that, right?
If Rams stay in St. Louis, I fully expect the NFL to re-align them to the AFC W with KC and Denver.
