[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 2059181, member: 748116"] But the reason the Rams moved to St. Louis from So Cal in the '90s WAS the Jones Dome. That's how St. Louis got the approval to move. So the very same dump was used as an excuse for TWO moves for the same franchise - coming and going. Musical-chairs sports franchises. No regard for the fans. And... St. Louis made a decent offer of a new stadium complex to the Rams to replace The Dump but The Rich Guy wanted no part of that. He had made up his mind to leave St. Louis and had no desire at all to stay. Owners just pick up and leave whenever they want and it's always the-fans-be-damned (and the City and the bond holders, too.) It always comes down to trust. How much can anybody trust the people who own a franchise. And that's the issue for the White Sox. Ask Sox fans how much they trust The Owner... and be ready for big laughter or loud swearing.
