Why move teams away from their homes?

I personally think it's a bad idea for the NFL to be moving their teams around. For example, the St. Louis Rams going to Los Angeles. I understand the L.A. DMA is number two and St. Louis is 21, that makes sense for TV ratings. But who's going to fill the stadium in L.A.?

If most of the fans are in St. Louis, season ticket holders are not going to fly to L.A. every week. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Plus, ESPN reported that they were also moving the Charges and Raiders to L.A. Meaning that three teams are going to be sharing one stadium.

Los Angeles is going to have way too many options of teams to be fans of, and sometimes people are overwhelmed with options.

So personally I think it's a bad idea, I understand the league is trying to promote it and trying to get their fandom going by putting Hard Knocks out there this year, the HBO series that follows one team through training camp, and that's definitely a good idea to try to get people to be a fan of the Los Angeles Rams, but I still think their fans are in St. Louis and that's where they're going to stay.
