'Greatest plan ever' in sports? Rams' vision for L.A. wows NFL owners
- 8 years ago
An ambitious project that encompasses far more than a football stadium won over NFL owners, who voted to approve the Rams’ relocation to the Los Angeles area on Tuesday.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones – a native of Inglewood, Calif., where the stadium is to open in 2019 on the site of the former Hollywood Park horse track – called Rams owner Stan Kroenke’s vision for bringing the team back to the city it abandoned 21 years ago “absolutely the greatest plan ever conceived in sports, as far as how to put the show on.”
After a two-decade absence from one of the nation’s largest media markets, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said the league finally found the “signature project” that would fulfill its stated goal of a solution to succeed in L.A. for the long haul.
