Fans left St. Louis Rams gear hanging on the fence outside the Rams Training Center in Earth City on Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2016. The night before the Rams announced they would be relocating to Los Angeles for the 2016 season and building a new $2 billion-plus NFL stadium in Inglewood, Calif. About an hour after this photo was taken, two men in a van pulled up grabbed all the Rams gear that had been left by fans and drove off. The men said they planned to donate the items to Goodwill.
