Stadium task force releases statement on #NFL decision to allow Rams move to L.A.

January 12, 2016 By Bill Pollock

The proposed new football stadium would be open air and located on the edge of the Mississippi River.

The proposed new football stadium would be open air and located on the edge of the Mississippi River.

Today’s decision by the NFL concludes a flawed process that ends with the unthinkable result of St. Louis losing the Rams. Over the past 15 months, our stadium task force has delivered in every respect to what the NFL demanded of St. Louis to keep our team.  More important, over the past 21 seasons, most of them dire, St. Louis has been remarkably supportive of and faithful to the Rams.  We will leave it to the NFL to explain how this could happen and hope the next city that may experience what St. Louis has endured will enjoy a happier and more appropriate outcome.

Here in St. Louis and throughout our region, we are incredibly grateful for the energy and support we received during this journey. What St. Louis was able to accomplish in a very, very short time was, and is, amazing.  That our collective efforts will not be rewarded, or recognized, is very unfortunate.  We all deserve better, but never forget that we just showed everyone and ourselves what St. Louis is capable of achieving.  The best days for St. Louis are not far away.
