About time they did it. At least have the Rams reimburse the state/city the $18+million they spent trying to keep the team here when the team had no interest in staying.

Screw the city of St.Louis for giving the Rams what they wanted after giving the Cardinals nothing. I have no sympathy for them or the Rams. St. Louie is not and never will be an NFL city.

Still though, if the team demands that public funds be used to build them a stadium, and then the team leaves before the thing is even paid for, somebody owes the taxpayers a big debt. The NFL makes multiple thousands of millions of dollars per year in pure profit. This garbage about demanding the taxpayers bear their construction burdens is wrong.

Especially since the NFL is a not for profit organization.

The city of Cleveland was able to turn a lawsuit against the NFL and the Browns into new team. But that suit was filed when the Browns announced they were leaving. This lawsuit is being filed after the fact.

Here is a link to the judge's ruling in the PSL case. http://www.turfshowtimes.com/2016/9/22/13018788/la-rams-lawsuit-st-louis-psl-holders-stan-kroenke

The gist of it is that most of the 46,000 PSL holders are to receive a refund (amount to be determined).

Due to a difference in contract language the relatively few (less than a couple thousand) who purchased their PSL directly from the Rams rather than through the Rams ticketing agency retain their PSL's for wherever the Rams play their home games.

Perfect. I hope they go for full market value of a Rams PSL....not what they paid for it but what it could be sold for now.

But it will probably be a percentage of the original price. I think they were set to expire in 2025.
