OAKLAND–The NFL really wanted the St. Louis Rams as their first choice to come back to Los Angeles and considering the Rams history in being in LA. Even though the San Diego Chargers have a history of being in LA. Also LA really wants the Raiders as well.

That’s a lot of AFL history right there between the Chargers and Raiders. The Raiders and Chargers have to come up with that $550 million location fee. Charger owner Dean Spanos can pull it off and Raider owner Mark Davis may not be able to.  Since Davis and the Raiders are the odd team out of LA Davis will consider his options if he would considering moving the Raiders to now unoccupied St.Louis, San Antonio or working with Oakland again and see if they can build a new stadium at the Coliseum footprint.

The Rams will not wait around in St.Louis they’re actually moving now. The Rams will open their 2016 season in the LA Coliseum and they want their new stadium to be at Hollywood Park and it should be ready by 2019. For Rams owner Stan Kroenke who said that the move to LA is bittersweet but none the less the Rams will be kicking off in LA for their pre season game in August.
