St. Louis is suing the NFL and the St. Louis now Los Angeles Rams over the relocation that happened at this point, you know, two years ago, okay, and you know there's a lot of news talking about the Raiders moved to Vegas. But I found this very very interesting. The city is alleging that the league violated their own relocation rules. You may have heard about this earlier in the week, but I looked into it a little bit more, Chris,
and I'm gonna tell you something. I think the municipality, the city of St. Louis, they have a little case here. They are claiming. They're claiming a few things. First of all, that they spent money, you know, developing plans for a
new stadium in St. Louis. And they're saying that the Rams and the NFL never were really negotiating in good faith, that they knew they were always going to try and move to Los Angeles, and that they wound up expending that the city wound up spending money trying to develop all these plans and develop all this stuff when they knew that there was really zero chance that they were gonna be able to keep the Rams they also have as evidence as I as I saw um, they have say,
like the team exacts lying over the potential of this Inglewood site. Remember owners stand Monkey bought like the site which they're now going to build the stadium on a few years ago. And they're saying they have evidence of you know, the Rams trying to dissuade city officials saying like, no, it's really not good for stadium. No it won't work out.
You know, no, it's nothing, no big deal, which then added to the case of how they try to go forward with their St. Louis stadium plans, you know, and I think that's very interesting. They're also alleging that in kind of other stadium and ticket like taxes and collection fees, they're alleging in total over a hundred million dollars in this lawsuit. There's a consolidated lawsuits from fans in this as well as part of a kind of a class
action around their personal seat licenses. You know, you pay to have that personal seat license another you know, another sum, and then it's con and you know, because there's no team there, so that value of that seat license drops precipitously, which I think is a legitimate point. And also check this out the county around St. Louis. Uh, they are suing the RAMS also because of the practice facility, the
practice facility at the RAMS built. There was like a little deal with the county that the RAMS would have be able to have this, you know, this facility for only for at least of only a dollar a year. And that's a nice sweet little deal, right, But now the Rams aren't there, so they you know, so the county doesn't think that they should get this sweet part deal, uh, and only have to pay one dollar at least a year there as a least, not to mention all the jobs,
you know. Listen, I know a couple of people that worked as like ushers sat Madison Square Garden when I was growing up, and uh, you know, there's a lot of jobs there, from the concession stands for the parking attendants to the security guards, you know. And we talked about the Raiders moving to Vegas. I told you how they was stiff in the Colosseum for like eight hundred thousand dollars you know, in their parking bills just for
the parking municipality. So I think these all bear watching, you know, it's all cool, it's all nice and fun. Oh right, it's to Vegas. Oh, teams in l a Oh, the charges are moving. I wonder what else is behind there. I wonder what red tape. I wonder what unanswered questions are still there in all those moves. Because um, you know, I think there should be a little bit greater loyalty.
