Well, folks. . .it's happening. The Rams are returning to Los Angeles! After a grueling 10 hour meeting in Houston, the NFL owner's voted to allow the Rams to leave St. Louis and build a stadium in Inglewood. They will begin play in the L.A. Memorial Coliseum next season (2016) and their new home is scheduled for completion in 2019. The man responsible for this incredible situation is Rams owner Stan Kroenke. It's still somewhat surreal because if someone had told me 20 years ago that the Rams would come home, I would have laughed. WELCOME BACK, RAMS!
GAME PLAN
Let's get started. I'm a die-hard Rams fan. I had season tickets both at the Coliseum and Anaheim Stadium for many years. And even photographed several games from the sidelines over the final two seasons before they moved. This blog was created after reading a newspaper column by Bill Plaschke in the Los Angeles Times Sports section (read it here) about the lack of identity for former L.A. Rams players. I decided to see how many Rams fans still have an appreciation for what the Rams meant to L.A. If you're a real fan, you've got stories to tell and opinions to share. Even if you're bitter about losing our team to St. Louis, air it out right here.

BRING 'EM HOME!
Well, it's been quite awhile since I posted here, but this is important news to Rams fans in Los Angeles. After all the rumors and speculation, the intent of the Rams to return to L.A. was made official by this statement on the team's website: "The St. Louis Rams informed the National Football League today that the Rams propose to relocate to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. The relocation would be effective for the 2016 NFL League Year."
