I have been reading so much about who will be moving and who will stay put between the Rams, Raiders and Chargers. Right now it is all speculation on who will move. But one thing is obvious, the only owner who truly wants to move to LA is Stan Kroenke and his Rams.
We do know Stan Kroenke wants to build this lavish stadium in Inglewood, which I would think the NFL would salivate at the thought of having Los Angeles with this lavish stadium to host a Super Bowl or should I say be in the rotation to host Super Bowls
The Raiders and Chargers on the other hand would prefer to stay where they're at. IMO the Rams would have the upper hand since Kroenke will finance his stadium himself (with his partners). I think the NFL will help one of the other two teams to finance a stadium deal for them to stay put and maybe the other team might move into the stadium in Inglewood.

But who knows???
All told, the Rams belong in LA, and they would be wholeheartedly supported by the greater Los Angeles area. Stan Kroenke has the right idea, and it wouldn't be in the NFL's best interests if they failed to get behind this move.
I don't want ANYBODY in Los Angeles in 2016. This may be a worn-out, lazy argument, but I don't care: California has enough teams! If you're going to move a team to LA, let it be the Raiders so they can tear down that eyesore of a stadium.
Short answer? Nobody. Too quick of a turnaround. I don't see the Trojans or Bruins wanting to share their facilities either (even though the Raiders played in the coliseum back in the day). Wouldn't be surprised to see the Rams back in L.A. by 2017 or 2018.

As someone who has seen his favorite team pick up and leave, I would not wish that on anyone. The Rams should not have left LA the first time, but they are in St. Louis, and should stay there! Same with the Jags! What is sad is that it comes down to a bunch of bureaucratic BS! Greedy owners demanding that the taxpayers fund their lavish facilities and reap most of the benefits and profits! In the end, it's the fans who get screwed!

Stan Kroenke is turning on St. Louis when they are trying to get funding for a new riverfront open air stadium, to build his own lavish stadium in LA with zero tax payer money.
Mark Murphy talked about it with reporters today at the Packers meeting. He said, it has been a priority for the NFL for years and this NFL August meeting is solely for the purpose of discussing Los Angeles. Mark Murphy is on one of the many committees within the NFL, as are other owners, I'm sure.

Well we know that the Rose Bowl will not be a temporary home to any team, they have already come out to say they wouldn't. The Coliseum in actually operated by USC and Pat Haden the USC athletic director and former Los Angeles Ram has stated he would welcome being a temporary NFL home as long as upgrades are made to the Coliseum.
