The National Football League is returning to Los Angeles. 30 years after the Rams abandoned LA to move to Saint Louis, the team will move back to the west coast. The league approved the move yesterday. The team will spend nearly two-billion dollars to build a new stadium. Two other teams that wanted to move were granted options to share the stadium in the future – the San Diego Chargers first, and the Oakland Raiders if the Chargers decline.
Our high school hockey coverage continues Friday and Saturday when Calumet hosts University of Detroit Jesuit. Hear both games on KBear 102.3 and KBear102.com.
