St. Louis wins fight to pull Rams east
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — The Rams will play in St. Louis this year after all.
A month after barring their move from Southern California, owners voted 23-6 yesterday to relocate the Rams to St. Louis, the first time an NFL team has left the West Coast.
"The game is over, and I don't say we won but ... well, I guess we won one," Rams owner Georgia Frontiere said. "I think we all won."
The Rams agreed to pay $30 million to the league to get the owners to reverse a 21-3 vote at the meetings last month in Phoenix. The 23 votes yesterday were the minimum needed.
But commissioner Paul Tagliabue said the reversal, which will leave the NFC West with only one team west of St. Louis, was more an attempt to avoid a lawsuit than about the money.
"The decision to have peace and not to have war was a big factor," Tagliabue said.
The move also is apparently tied to the construction of a stadium for the Los Angeles Raiders at Hollywood Park, which would guarantee an NFL franchise in the area. The Raiders, who moved from Oakland in 1982, had been hinting they might move, and NFL owners have worried about not having a team in the nation's No.2 market.
But the Los Angeles Times, citing unidentified sources, said yesterday
if the Rams' move from Anaheim in nearby Orange County was approved, the issue of the Hollywood Park stadium also will be brought before the owners and likely will be approved.
Another consideration was Fox Television, which paid $1.58 billion to get the NFC package, the most lucrative in sports television.
Fox Sports president David Hill was in Europe and not available for comment, although the network, which televises NFC games, earlier had backed the NFL's efforts to keep the Rams in Los Angeles.
"We're studying the ramifications of losing the No.2 television market from our NFC package," Fox spokesman Vince Wladicka said. "It's an open issue for us to discuss."
There was an upside to the move for Fox, however. One of the network's newest owned-and-operated affiliates is in St. Louis, and it stands to gain tremendously in value from the new NFL franchise.
Also, with the Rams out of Los Angeles, Fox now can televisive double-headers into a rich market, as well as more games involving the popular San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys.
The two sides had been negotiating since the rejection a month ago. But the $30 million was only about $5 million more than the Rams had offered at that time.
Tagliabue said the money probably would go to NFL Charities.
