INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Stan Kroenke stepped to the microphones at the Forum with football fans chanting "We love Stan!"
When the owner first said the words "Los Angeles Rams," those fans erupted in wild cheers.
What a difference LA makes for Kroenke and his Rams, who are home again after 21 years in St. Louis.
The Rams formally returned to the West Coast on Friday with their first public appearance since getting NFL permission to relocate. Team executives, former players and fans shared their anticipation and excitement when they assembled mere steps away from the planned site of a lavish stadium set to open at Hollywood Park in 2019.
