Well at least if they move now they wouldn't be the worst team in LA for at least a decade. (Thanks Lakers)
Kroenke broke AF. https://theathletic.com/1814617/202...-up-to-500-million-more-from-nfl-for-stadium/ The Athletic's Daniel Kaplan reports the Rams have requested "up to $500 million in additional NFL stadium financing" and are seeking a "doubling of the amount of time typically required to pay the money back." Per Kaplan, that would put the Rams in the neighborhood of $900 million borrowed from the league for what has become quite a financial boondoggle for owner Stan Kroenke. “There’s a massive request for debt waivers and additional G-4 from those in LA,” a source told Kaplan. “And they’re asking to pay that over 30 years as opposed to 15 years.” Kaplan reports the Rams need gate receipts to start paying down their ballooning debt, but obviously that probably will not be happening in 2020 thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. This, coupled with reports that the Rams have been nickel and diming ex-players on bonus money paints a picture of a franchise that is not in great financial shape after a $2-3 billion project skyrocketed to $5-$6 billion.
I've voted for them every time I've been presented with a ballot on the question, but publicly funded ballparks, stadiums and arenas are a load of crap.
Someone in Houston needs to buy the Rams and move them to Houston. The Texans can then move to Memphis or wherever Bill O’Brien wants to take them.
He built his fortune on commercial and residential real estate. Apparently, people are not paying their rent!
