Is it possible for Rams owner Stan Kroenke to move to L.A. and his team to stay in St. Louis? Apparently it is.
Via Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, St. Louis stadium task force co-chair Dave Peacock suggested that scenario this week.
“It’s possible we have different ownership of the [Rams] because I think [Kroenke] is really committed to Los Angeles,” Peacock said at a Commercial Real Estate Women of St. Louis breakfast. “I’m not against Stan going to Los Angeles, I just don’t want our team there. This is why we’re spending most of our time with the league -- we think this is an NFL issue.”
In other words, the folks in St. Louis would like to see Kroenke sell the Rams, buy another team, and move that team to Los Angeles. A team like, say, the Raiders.
The more ominous portion of Peacock’s comment is this: Kroenke is really committed to Los Angeles. So unless he can be persuaded to sell the Rams (and unless Mark Davis can be persuaded to sell Kroenke the Raiders), it’s just a matter of time before Kroenke moves the Rams to L.A.
