Rams headed to Hollywood?

Rams owner Stan Kroenke plans to build an NFL stadium in Los Angeles.

We've all heard countless rumors and blueprints over the last 20 years of an NFL franchise returning to Los Angeles. But this one appears real. Kroenke's announcement comes with a site he already owns in Inglewood and a plan (80,000-seat stadium). Per the L.A. Times, it also marks the first time an existing NFL owner has controlled a local site large enough for a stadium and parking. It appears Kroenke is angling toward bringing the Rams -- who left L.A. in 1995 -- back to the nation's second-largest market by 2016. He still will have plenty of NFL relocation hoops to jump through.

Profootballtalk reports Rams owner Stan Kroenke intends to move the team to Los Angeles "with or without" league approval.

Mike Florio's report comes via a source with "knowledge of the current dynamics in Southern California." The same source tells Florio that Kroenke doesn't currently have the 24 votes required for relocation. Kroenke is apparently unmoved by this, however, and has reportedly assured the mayor of Inglewood he'll be coming regardless of the league's wishes. It's a bold, confrontational stance, one that could result in a protracted legal battle. The takeaway from the past two days is that Kroenke, a Missouri native, is dead set on heading to Hollywood.
