Rampage2K-
Either way you want to say it...it was a horrible or genius lease, depending on which way you want to look at it.... The Rams would still be in St Louis if the CVC did fulfill the promise of keeping the stadium top tier... They declined to and the Rams said thank you. As I'm sure they were hoping and banking on them not fulfilling such a bad lease agreement and the rest is history.
Which is simply to say Kroenke wanted to move to LA. A community-centered owner could have found a way to keep them there. So I never buy the "St.L blame" thing. I don't think LA fans need that either. They don;t have to go around finding ways to say St.L did something to itself. They could just admit that SK simply wanted to increase the value of the team cause that's his main thing (period), and lucky for LA fans he did.
Exactly... I don't blame St Louis for not holding up that lease promise, it was insane.....but at the same time, it was those same CVC that agreed to such an insane lease in their desperation to woo Georgia out of LA.
And I don't blame Stan for taking advantage of that situation and returning the Rams to LA.
Like the Forbes article says
"But the real culprit is the lease created and signed by local authorities over 20 years ago, because its language and requirements are why Kroenke enjoys the financial and legal leverage with the St. Louis region he has."
