FormerSTLRamFan Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I was born and raised in St. Louis and witnessed not one but two NFL team buses heading off to another city. It's not a good feeling. I do not want the Jets fans to go through that. St. Louis supported the Rams through thick and thin. Stan Kroenke made it seem like St. Louis was not a viable market and that's total bullsh*t. The TWA dome was rocking for many years even during the 1-15, 2-14, 3-13 years; I mean the Rams won its only Super Bowl here. We the tax payers offered to build a brand new river front stadium to keep them, and yet the franchise left. St. Louis is an NFL city; we just need our own team. An expansion team would do very well in St. Louis. I wish Georgia Frontiere had never moved the Rams to St. Louis. In 1994 St. Louis was set to to get an expansion team in the St. Louis Stallions after a failed attempt to buy and move the Cheaters. Here comes Georgia with her hand out for the best deal in the NFL for any of the franchises (worst for a city). St. Louis was so desperate for a franchise that a new dome was built, LA's PSLs were paid off, and a deal to where if the stadium wasn't in the top of the heap the Rams could leave. This was exposed by Stan Kroenke the business shark and despite our best efforts to keep the Rams the franchise packed up and moved to the city that only supports winning franchises. That 2002 expansion team awarded to Houston should have been ours. Anyway, good luck to you guys and I hope the Titans of New York stay put.

You don't have to be a genius to see that. Its about ownership NOT cities that may have lost a franchise (or two). If the Busch family has the resources and will build a stadium the NFL will let it happen. I say go ahead, I have had about enough of the freakin Jets anyway. I could then root for who the F ever I wanted after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetPotato Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Another thought I had though, on the flip side: If the Jets move to St Louis, at least we can finally definitively put to rest the "PSL Investment" debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're hoping to make the switch to a NY expansion team, just know that it will probably be owned by the Dolans. and play in a downtown stadium, does Woody still own the rights to the Westside Stadium location?

JetFaninMI Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Would anyone be opposed if the Jet name stayed and a new owner built a stadium in NY for a team that is supposed to be a NY team? Don't give me that 8 games a year bullspit either. Dinkins built a stadium for 1 event a year and that was okay but the Jets aren't worthy? Another venue for concerts etc. would benefit the city. IF the name stayed and they were a team that played its home games within the actual State of NY I would not have a problem with it. The shape of this team is almost at the expansion level anyway with all its need's. Why would anyone be opposed if they were still the NY Jets actually playing in NY?

JetsFanatic Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 This is such a waste of time thread. The Jets spent millions building a state of the art training facility in Florham Park and have a long term lease on a stadium that they invested millions to build. Despite being a poor team in 2016 they still drew large crowds and because of a comment by Carton on WFAN, which has not been reported anywhere of reputation, a thread was made. Really it must be the off season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackMac Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 No way. I would say that the NFL would be idiots to let a long standing NY franchise move to a loser city like St. Louis (there's a reason why three franchises have left), but then again, we're talking about Roger Goodell, whose stupidity level genuinely scares me.
