Rams Fans Sue

The Rams are facing two lawsuits stemming from their relocation to Los Angeles, which became official on Jan. 12.

 width=In one lawsuit, several fans allege that the team violated Missouri's Merchandising Practices Act, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The lawsuit was filed because fans claim that the Rams acted with "deception, fraud, false pretense, false promise," in regards to their move.

The four fans who filed the lawsuit are hoping to win a settlement that would force the Rams to reimburse anyone who bought team merchandise between 2000 and 2015. The four fans say their allegation of "deception" and "fraud" is justified because Rams owner Stan Kroenke promised on multiple occasions to keep the team in St. Louis.

The other lawsuit against the team was filed by personal seat license (PSL) holders in St. Louis. The attorney who filed that suit, David Bohm, says that the PSL agreements signed by his clients gave them the "the right to purchase season tickets for the assigned seats for each and every football season through the year 2025."

According to Bohm, the agreement didn't say anything about the PSL being in St. Louis or Los Angeles. A PSL in St. Louis would presumably be much cheaper than a PSL in L.A., and if St. Louis fans were able to keep their PSLs at the lower St. Louis rate, they could sell it for more or keep it or transfer it.
