The late Georgia Fontiere simply wanted to put a football team back in St. Louis after the Cardinals moved to Phoenix.

The late Al Davis moved the Raiders to LA for reasons unknown to me, but brought them back to Oakland when he didn't get a new stadium. Perhaps Mr. Wilf would like to consider that.
