Civil Plaintiff
The NFL Rams Relocation Lawsuit Settles For a Record $790 Million
The NFL dodged a trial in a long-running St. Louis relocation lawsuit over the Rams’ move to Los Angeles with a settlement weeks before trial was scheduled to begin.
At $790 million, the price tag to end the legal dispute was the most the NFL has paid to settle litigation.
The settlement, however, was worth it to the league as it ensured sensitive financial information compiled by lawyers representing the plaintiffs — St. Louis, St. Louis County, and the St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority — would not become public at a jury trial that was set to begin Jan. 10.
