Yes, we have great activities like dying on rollercoasters and eating tubs of butter. This is where dreams go to die.

St. Louis lost the American Airlines hub, had some good riots outside their city limits, now lose a pro sports team. I'm buying city bonds tomorrow.

I've visited my family in STL and besides the weird and scary arch elevator there are things like:

Seeing the flooded Missouri river coming up to take the arch down!
Visiting St. Charles to see real fried ravioli
Visiting St. Charles to see real adult video stores next door to the fried ravioli

As Adam Carolla says "Everybody in LA is from somewhere else, therefore they already have a team to root for. The people who are actually from LA are too cool to care about football, or they love soccer"

Why walk when you can ride?
Based on my observations since moving to STL being a Rams fan is like having battered wife syndrome. NO NO THIS YEAR ITS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT WE GOT A NEW RUNING BACK. So look forward to the first year being all "well its a moving season, they're bound to be a bit out of sorts", and just watch the rationale spin from there.

The whole poo poo about "this new stadium is going to make the downtown walkable and connected and really revitalize the area and also get us a superbowl, look at Indy!" was the icing on the cake.

the NFL is a one-month bridge to hockey season, an infinitely more fun and entertaining sport than football. you can't go five plays these days without an automatic first down defensive penalty

gary bettman is a braindead dumbfuck who thinks that putting an expansion team in Las Vegas is a good idea, and i'd still rather have him as a league commissioner than roger goodell, a sociopathic waste of space who has probably murdered at least one person in his lifetime

they also managed to dump never-healthy Sam Bradford on the Eagles and got a decent QB in the process in Nick Foles. but they had only one worthwhile season during their 21 years in St. Louis (i'm intentionally leaving out the super bowl where they created the Satanic Dynasty) and most of the rest of them were mediocre or worse. so the answer is "hell no"

Well, they left the last two times. This time when there's potentially two teams to support it will definitely work out! Building a giant stadium in LA is like building a giant stadium in any lovely suburb only with more congestion and less to do around it because even a lovely suburb has a BWW in it.

I thin this is pretty much a big reason too. Everyone once in a while someone brings up restarting the football program at my school but then its like "LOL no, we arnt spending thousands and thousands of dollars when no one in their right might is going to suddenly stop being USC/UCLA fan and start caring about ad buying CSUN poo poo "
