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. Additionally, the stadium was primarily suited for baseball, meaning the sightlines for football weren’t so good. Blame was constantly passed around, but in reality the club was an absolute train-wreck in all aspects. After initial rejection from league executives, 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.
