St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke shocked the sporting world on Monday morning with the announcement that he has plans to build an NFL stadium in Inglewood, California. That brings a lot of evidence to the fact that the team could end up relocating and returning to Los Angeles.

The LA Times reported that Kroenke has joined forces with Stockbridge Capital Group, the owners of the 238 acre Hollywood Park site. Combined with his 60 acres adjacent to the Forum, the group plans to build an 80,000-seat NFL stadium and a 6,000-seat performance venue.

Kroenke has the ability to end the team’s 30-year lease a full decade early due to St. Louis officials not improving the stadium, per their agreement. Later this month, they can convert the lease to year-to-year if a new agreement is not met by the end of January.

As of now, the two sides are almost $575 million apart.
