On Wednesday, January 13, the owners of the 32 NFL teams met to vote on the relocation of one franchise to Los Angeles. At the end of these meeting, the owners voted 30-2 to relocate the St. Louis Rams to LA; this brings football back to LA for the first time since 1994.

There were three teams up for relocation: the St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, and Oakland Raiders. The three teams prepared presentations to present to the owners and the owners voted in favor for the Rams. The Chargers were giving the options for a joint move with the Rams and have till 2017 to make their decision. Both the Raiders and Chargers will receive $100 million to build new stadiums if they decide to stay.

""Relocation is a painful process," said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. "So the excitement that we feel about being able to return the Rams to Los Angeles is balanced with a disappointment that we weren't able to get it done for our fans in St. Louis, San Diego and Oakland."

There is already tremendous support for the relocation of the Rams to LA.

"Today, with the NFL returning home, Los Angeles cements itself as the epicenter of the sports world," says LA mayor Eric Garcetti.

Rams now join the Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers, Angles, Kings and Galaxy in LA. LA is one of the largest sports markets in the world and was in need of an NFL team.

The Rams will begin playing in LA in 2016 in the famous LA Coliseum. The new stadium will be located in the LA suburb of Inglewood, where the old Hollywood Park racetrack was located. The new stadium is reported to be one of the biggest stadiums in the world and would have the ability to host the World Cup, Olympics, and many other sporting events. It would create millions of opportunities for sports in LA.

The return of the Rams to LA marks a new era for sports.
