A Fact Check of St. Louis Rams Relocation Application

ST. LOUIS — NFL owners meet Jan. 12-13 in Houston to decide if any of three teams — the Rams, Chargers and Raiders — will be granted permission to move to suburban Los Angeles. The Rams' relocation application made available this week highlights the benefits of their proposed new stadium in Inglewood, California, and criticizes their current market in St. Louis. Some points are spot on. Others are questionable or misleading:

RAMS: The Inglewood stadium would be a "world-class, iconic structure."

FACTS: No doubt. Owner Stan Kroenke's $1.86 billion stadium would seat 70,240 and have room for another 30,000 standing room only, with lots of high-dollar premium suites.
