Los Angeles Rams To St. Louis (1995)
It was a long process of downfall for this franchise. They had poor standard of play for years, a lack of support and a crumbling stadium. Blame was constantly passed around, but in reality all of these factors (and more) played a part. The stadium was primarily suited for baseball, meaning the sightlines for football weren’t so good. After initial rejection from league owners, owner Frontiere responded with threat of a lawsuit, and in the space of a month the vote changed from a majority ‘no’ to a resounding ‘yes’.

Los Angeles Raiders Back To Oakland (1995)
Back so soon? That’s right, we’re back with the Raiders and their ‘re’-relocation to Oakland. Perhaps the move was a little hasty? Initial attempts to return from Davis were quashed in 1990 when they experienced many delays in the deal. At this time, Davis signed a new deal to stay in L.A. However, in 1995 things started moving for the Raiders. Despite receiving approval to build a $200 million privately financed stadium on property owned by Hollywood Park for the franchise, Davis disapproved. He didn’t want to share the stadium with a second NFL team and consequentially signed a letter of intent to move the team back to Oakland. The move received approval and had a great reception with fans.
