I know you’ve been waiting for a football video. But this one hurts. St. Louis has been screwed over by the NFL not once, but twice. Two different teams moved to St. Louis, and two different teams left. Will St. Louis get an NFL team again? That is up to fate.

The 49ers came so close this year. Damn it! Although funny enough it shouldn't even count as an SF title if they won since they play in Santa Clara which is 45 minutes to an hour south of SF and really should be a San Jose title since Santa Clara is literally right next to San Jose.

Correct, Cardinals are the oldest NFL team and started in Chicago. Rams started in Cleveland before moving to Los Angeles. But I will say this. St. Louis is a baseball city not a football city. I moved from Topeka, KS to Jacksonville, FL in the summer of 2000. Rams had just won the Super Bowl that January and I saw more Cardinals and Blues stickers on cars than I did the Rams when I drove through St. Louis during dinner rush hour traffic.

But,those cities still have NFL and/or NBA teams that are currently active while St. Louis has been whittled down to the MLB Cardinals and the NHL Blues. The other cities that you listed,at least,still have a chance at acquiring championship status in professional football or basketball. The days of NBA and ESPECIALLY NFL affiliations in St. Louis are a thing of the past. Unfortunately,like many other Midwestern American cities,St. Louis is on life-support and will never attain the popular status it once enjoyed,historically. Nothing wrong with having a little bit of local pride,however.

That really is about it. The Rams were the best and worst of times for NFL football in St. Louis. I would say 4 very good seasons from the Rams, 3 years of Don Coryell Big Red teams in the 1970s, and 2 or 3 teams in the 1960s the best. The Big Red mainly mediocre.and there was not a playoff for most of the 1960s unless there was a tie for first place so never a playoff win. The 1964 playoff win he mentions of the Cardinals over Green Bay was actually only a short lived playoff games of runner-ups Green Bay in the West and St. Louis in the East with no advavcement. I followed it all and as seen by the Battle Hawks attendance wish St. Louis would get an expansion team but like he says owners committed to the region for private invesment like just happened for the new soccer stadium and team is key. It did make sense Stan Kroenke would want the much larger TV market of L.A.. . It is obvious seeing what has been happening for the Dodgers.

I remember what St. Louis couldn't get its act together during the last NFL expansion. The NFL was so desperate to have a team in St. Louis that they gave the city an extra month to shore up its bid package. St. Louis failed to do so, so the NFL reluctantly gave the franchise to Jacksonville. All the while, Baltimore had by far the best expansion package and greatly exceeded every NFL challenge. Kinda funny how things turned out, isn't it?

Frontierre as I remember moved the Rams to St. Louis because as I understood it she was "sick and tired" of playing second fiddle to the "showtime" LA Lakers in the one city where since the early 1980's the NBA trumps the NFL. LA has been a Laker town first for decades. The only reason LA has any teams, let alone two now is because the networks demanded there be teams in LA so that they can have stars of their shows "be seen at the game," as for years many women watch nationally televised Lakers games on TNT/ABC/ESPN solely to see who is at the game.

People barely gave a shit about the Rams in their first stint in LA. Especially when the Raiders came from Oakland. In the 80s through the mid 90s, Angelinos were all about the Silver and Black. They had won SB 18 decidedly, and LA embraced the “bad boy” imagery. Marcus Allen, Lyle Alzado, Lester Hayes, Tim Brown, Mark Haynes, Howie Long, and it was game over with Bo Jackson. Lots of people in the country, much less LA, were infatuated with them, for better or for worse. Remember all those West Coast Gangsta Rappers back in the late 80s/Early 90s? I never saw any of them sport an LA Rams Jersey. The Rams were located in Anaheim and were largely forgotten - especially after the 1989 season when they went on their binge of sucking that rivaled the 90s Bengals. It was all about wearing that Silver and Black. People in LA were more distraught when they lost the Raiders vs when the Rams moved. LA is still dominated by Raiders fans (and Cowboys fans and Niners fans and Patriots fans) than they are with the Rams. And don’t even get me started on the Chargers.

If you ever get a chance to hear Howard Balzer talk on the subject, who does he say was largely responsible for the Jaguars winding up in Jacksonville? Señor Stan himself, as he refused to work with the group pursuing the expansion team. But also to the point of the video: St. Louis needs an expansion team of their own. No more relocations.

Read this closely. That’s not happening. It won’t ever happen. Also, there is no “Gator Bowl”, there’s Everbank Field, and it’s getting a two billion dollar renovation, so it will look much like, ironically, SoFi. The Jags and the city are working together to ensure the Jaguars remain in Jacksonville for a long time.

I was a foreigner growing up loving the greatest show on turf of the St. Louis Rams. It was my dream to go see the game for real one day. I'd finally made it in 2015. Unfortunately, It was the last year that the team I had known and loved was the team I grew up with. Deep down, I still wished that Kroenke didn't exercise his right and sold his share to Shad Khan. He's a greedy business mogul who only cares about money and hometown royalty doesn't matter to him at all.

Why is it a city’s and/or state’s responsibility to build these billion dollar corporations the buildings they do business in? And no one say anything about revenue or jobs these corporations create, because that is just plain wrong. No way in hell should one tax dollar ever be given to any corporation, but especially ones that are part of the richest union of corporations in the country. (That’s what a sports league is) Especially since every major sports union of corporations has banned community ownership such as the most successful organization has. (The Packers have won the most nfl championships) But all this video was was a history of the cardinals and the rams. Where was the betrayal? That they moved after moving from other cities? But I am glad to hear you hate the Rams- same reason I am no longer a raider fan. The davises have been more interested in moving than winning.

Who really should hate is the Cardinals they were the original STL football team

After the Cardinals moved to Arizona and the Rams to St. Louis there was a rumor the Cards were considering moving again, this time to L.A. That never happened but if so the teams could have switched logos and been back where they were lol.

To piggyback off this comment, STL is a great sports city. The Cardinals and the Blues always draw huge crowds. And the Battle hawks to very very well for being in the XFL. The narrative that we are a baseball city is a so dumb. The Rams were consistently one of the worst teams in football after the GSOT era. No fan base is going to show up for a team that can barely win 5 games a year.

I think you would enjoy the 2009 Cardinals Football book by St. Louis sports historian Greg Marecek. I am old enough that I started following the Big Red their first season in STL in 1960. Their 1964 playoff win over Green Bay was actually only a game of the runner-ups Green Bay in the West and St. Louis in the East with no advancement. This is why it is said the Big Red in St. Louis never won a playoff game. According to Greg Marecek he blamed the separate St. Louis City and County governments for not agreeing on a new football stadium location, since Bill Bidwell initially wanted to stay in STL. Bill Bidwell thought Phoenix would right away help build a new stadium but it took 18 years so they played at Arizona State all those years. The Rams are a different story. As a result of the St. Louis lawsuit it was indirectly learned approval to move was only given when Stan Kroenke signed an indemnification agreement to compensate NFL owners in the event of any St. Louis lawsuits. This overrode the NFL Relocation committee recommending to keep the Rams in St. Louis and an initial relocation vote. No way though would it have been good for Stan Kroenke to stay in St. Louis. He had already bought land for SOFI years prior and wanted the large TV market of L.A. as did Roger Goodell and a few owners such as Jerry Jones of Dallas and Hunt of Kansas City per the initial relocation vote. Much came out in a long St. Louis Post Dispatch article of what had been learned during the lawsuit a few months after settlement. St. Louis was ready to build a new stadium but needed an owner to contribute. I think an owner would have been found but an owner similar to the private investors of the new soccer team to build a new stadium committed to the STL region is key. I enjoyed your video and agree with your conclusion at the end. Also a better resolution of the Rams moving should have been awarding St. Louis an expansion team.

St. Louis would have gotten an NFL expansion team in 1995, rather than Jacksonville, except for civic and business leaders squabbling among themselves instead of providing a uniform plan to the league. An established team that is effectively 'stolen' can be 'stolen back' at some point, especially one so strongly identified with one city as the Rams have been with Los Angeles. Once the 'top-tier' clause wasn't honored by 2015, the chances of the Rams remaining in St. Louis were very slight, however the city's civic leadership and especially its local sports media totally misled the area's NFL fans about the situation. Really, the 'Gateway City' blew its best chance for a long-term NFL team back in '95.

I was a huge Rams fan, and Isaac Bruce will always be my favorite player. What hurts the most was the way that owner trashed the city to get out. What will never make sense is that the Cardinals left because they wanted a new stadium and proceeded to play in a college stadium for 2 decades. Additionally, our hometown wouldn’t build the Cardinals a new stadium, but proceeded to build one with no official tenant just a handful of years later. Life is better as a Chiefs fan

Well put together video. I remember being in elementary school when the Cards moved to Arizona, only reason I knew was they sold NFL team pencils in the cafeteria and seeing it on them. Then I remember both LA teams leaving many years later and wasn't surprised, since LA was a terrible football town then. I did enjoy the Titans losing that Super Bowl too, as I'm from Houston and still have deep hatred for them to this day. It was even worse when we got screwed for an expansion team, since they gave it to LA initially, and only after they couldn't get an ownership group together did the Texans come into existence. Sadly the owner is a clown and finally gave up on watching them weekly in 2019, but at least they didn't move.
