on january 31, 2014, both the "los angeles times" and the "st. louis post-dispatch" reported that rams owner stan kroenke purchased 60 acres of land adjacent to the forum in inglewood, california. it would be, by the most conservative estimates, sufficient land on which an nfl-sized stadium may be constructed. the purchase price was rumored to have been between us$90–100 million. commissioner roger goodell represented that kroenke informed the league of the purchase. as an nfl owner, any purchase of land in which a potential stadium could be built must be disclosed to the league. this development further fueled rumors that the rams intended to return its management and football operations to southern california. the land was initially targeted for a walmart supercenter but walmart could not get the necessary permits to build the center. kroenke is married to ann walton kroenke who is a member of the walton family and many of kroenke's real estate deals have involved walmart properties. on january 5, 2015, the los angeles times reported that kroenke sports & entertainment and stockbridge capital group were partnering up into developing a new nfl stadium on property owned by kroenke. the project will include a stadium of up to 80,000 seats and a performance venue of 6,000 seats while reconfiguring the previously approved hollywood park plan for up to 890,000 square feet of retail, 780,000 square feet of office space, 2,500 new residential units, a 300-room hotel and 25 acres of public parks, playgrounds, open space and pedestrian and bicycle access. in lieu of this the city of st. louis responded on january 9, 2015, by unveiling an outdoor, open air, riverfront stadium that could have accommodated the rams and an mls team with the hope that the nfl bylaws can force them to stay. on february 24, 2015, the inglewood city council approved the stadium and the initiative with construction on the stadium planned to begin in december 2015. on december 21, 2015, construction was officially underway at the hollywood park site for the stadium. on january 4, 2016, after st. louis finished last in per-game attendance for the 2015 season, the team filed a relocation application to relocate to los angeles and informed the nfl about this and released a statement on their website.
