There were myriad plans for new stadiums over the years, all backed with local private money. None could get city approval because the Coliseum Commission blocked them all. The NFL was done with the Coliseum as a permanent home for a team, so the league blocked any attempts to permanently go back to the Coliseum. 2 Reply 26 / 29 1 26 29 Display: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by: AuthorPost timeSubject Sort by: AscendingDescending Jump to: Forum Rams/NFL Other Sports Rams Fans United Q&A's Board Business 290 posts Apr 19 2024

They'll just say "They covered the seats so we can't see how many they couldn't sell".You do have to admit that was a pretty stupid move by USC and the architects to make those seats obstructed. It amazes me that happens in this day and age. by rams74 4 years 8 months ago Total posts: 1472 Joined: Nov 19 2015 Glendale, Arizona Pro Bowl Renovations already started at the Coliseum?

Anytime a new stadium proposal came up for an NFL team, the local politicians always redirected said team back to the Coliseum. No proposal could get approval through local government because the commission always said the Coliseum was the best site. CR wanted the stadium renovated, but the commission didn't like his ideas and refused. So he moved the Rams to Anaheim. He wanted a new stadium, but they blocked it. Al Davis moved the Raiders there with their approval, but the same thing happened to him, so he moved back to Oakland. Same thing with the expansion team that turned into the Texans.
