[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 2059192, member: 85743"] No, they moved from Orange County because of a dwindling fanbase in that area and a deep economic recession due to defense sector layoffs in that part of the country. There was virtually no chance they were going to get a football-only stadium in southern California at that point in time in the '90s. And you may want to do a bit more research as to why Frontiere even got the Rams to St. Louis in the first place and how the Dome was not the main reason for it. Plus the Dome had to be considered in the top 25% of stadiums in the league, which it did not within roughly 10 years of it's opening. While Kroenke does deserve much of the blame, the CVC putting in as little effort as it did, relatively speaking of course, to keep the dome updated certainly didn't help things. And you act as if I know that Sox fans don't trust Reinsdorf. I have MANY friends that are Sox fans and I have learned full well how much they distrust Jerry. [/QUOTE]
