Where did the Saint Louis rams get their name?

Answer 1

The franchise was originated in Cleveland in 1936 as a member of the American Football League. In 1937 the team joined the NFL. Principal owner Homer Marshman and his general manager, Damon "Buzz" Wetzel picked the Rams name because Wetzel had said his favorite football team had always been the Fordham Rams and Marshman liked the sound of the name.

Answer 2

There are several reasons why the Rams moved to St. Louis in 1995. At the time the Rams were playing in Anaheim Stadium, which was 15 to 20 years old, in bad condition and was shared with the Anaheim Angels. The Rams also had the deal with the LA Raiders who they (Rams management) felt were eroding the Rams fan base. Finally, the Rams owner had little or no outside income other than moneys generated from the team. By moving the team, Rams ownership solved all her problems with one move. First, the team moved into a brand new stadium that they didn't have to share with any other tenant and no other football team within a 100 mile radius. Second and most importantly for Georgia, (the Rams owner) she received a large payment for the move, insuring that she could live the rest of her life in luxury.

Answer 3

Their original owner was a fan of the college team the Fordham Rams.
