Hasn't there been murmurs of the NFL trying to push a team back there? I know there was some murmurs of the Chargers but I imagine it'd go for any team that may relocate.

I think they deserve it the most but being left twice isn't a good look regardless of circumstances. Most people I know that used to be Rams fans from STL just don't even pay attention to the league. I'm not sure they'd really get behind another team due to how the team moved. They are also trying to push KC into the STL market which due to how good the Chiefs are is actually converting a fair amount of fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBURGE Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It's hard to imagine my life where I could consistently go to an NFL game with only an hour or two of travel. If they had a team in Toronto, I would still be a Packers fan, but I feel like over years I might shift due to availability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataal Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Would love to see a team in Salt Lake City, even though I don't live in Utah anymore. They would have a rabidly loyal fan base, but the whole Sunday game thing muddies the water quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP said if a team moved, not necessarily new expansion. Although it was edit, so he could have changed the wording after you posted. Yea, sorry, I'm splitting a hair with ya.

Raptors prove that the city will rally around a decent team let alone a contender; turned out in droves to get Lebronto'd every year or embarassed by the Wizards till last year. Like I said in the London thread - I seriously doubt the CFL would be thrilled to have the NFL horn in on their turf. Isn't 32 teams enough?

And obviously to get one the NFL would basically require a taxpayer funded stadium, which would screw the city even more. I think it would take a long, long time before it'd ever make sense to bring a team back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kroenke was going to move the team at the first out he got to increase his net worth. It had nothing to do with the Rams fans not supporting a team that won nothing in the 10 years prior to the move. I wasn't alive to know the logistics of how the Cardinals moved but my understanding was the city didn't want to fund his stadium. Which is a stance most cities should take.

Isn't 32 teams enough? While I agree, I dont think the CFL could stop the NFL if they truly wanted a Team in say Vancouver or Toronto. It be like Coke vs RC Cola. I could see the Fans absolutely getting behind a NFL team much like the Toronto Blue Jay's, or Toronto Raptors. I don't for a second believe Fans would be hesitant for NFL football to exist. Thats all that really matters the Revenue and could they actually support it, CFL would be screwed. It's just a matter of which locations could build a new stadium because I do not believe the NFL Relocated Team would want to share with a CFL Team and nor should they. Rams -Chargers will be the poster child for not renting a Stadium through another for decades to come!
