NFL owners approve Rams relocation; team will move to L.A.

NFL owners approve Rams relocation; team will move to L.A.: Despite a furious effort to stave off a depressing bout of deja vu, residents in St. Louis will watch their football franchise walk out the door for a second time.

This comes after the NFL Committee on L.A. Opportunities, a group of six owners, voted 5-1 in recommendation of the Carson stadium proposal over Kroenke's Inglewood proposal.
The final vote was 30-2, according to NFL.com.
“This has been the most difficult process of my professional career,” said Rams owner Stan Kroenke Tuesday in a statement. “While we are excited about the prospect of building a new stadium in Inglewood, California, this is bitter sweet. St. Louis is a city known for its incredibly hard-working, passionate and proud people. Being part of the group that brought the NFL back to St. Louis in 1995 is one of the proudest moments of my professional career. Reaching two Super Bowls and winning one are things all St. Louisans should always treasure."
Kroenke has said St. Louis' economy makes it difficult for an NFL franchise to thrive there.
