St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke might be planning to construct an 80,000-seat stadium in Los Angeles, but city and state officials don’t believe the franchise is on the move.

“St. Louis is an NFL city and I am committed to keeping it that way,” Missouri Governor Jay Nixon said in a written statement.

Nixon’s two-man stadium committee of former Anheuser-Busch president Dave Peacock and attorney Bob Blitz said Monday they are unbowed by the L.A. plan.

“The news is another reminder of how much competition there can be for National Football League franchises and projects that include NFL stadiums, but it does not change our timeline or approach,” Peacock and Blitz said in a statement.

“It is important to remember this will be a long-term process, but one that the State of Missouri and the St. Louis region are fully pledged to seeing through. We are ready to demonstrate our commitment to keeping the NFL here, and to continue to illustrate why St. Louis has been and will always be a strong NFL market. We will present a plan to Governor Nixon this Friday as scheduled, and we expect that it will meet his criteria, thereby allowing us to share our vision with the public shortly thereafter. In the meantime, we will continue to have discussions with the NFL, as well as Rams leadership.”

The earliest approved relocation for any NFL franchise would be January 2016. In December, commissioner Roger Goodell told the three teams with stadium issues — the Rams, Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers all are annual leases or have out clauses and are unsatisfied with their current homes — that no relocation to Los Angeles would be permitted for 2015.

Any move would require majority approval of all 32 NFL owners — meaning 24 supporting votes — after an application is filed between Jan. 1 and Feb. 15 next year.

The Rams played in Los Angeles from 1946 to 1994. Their lease at the Edward Jones Dome downtown St. Louis is expected to be converted to a year-to-year agreement in February.

If it comes down to stacking dollars, Jeff Rainford a spokesperson for the St. Louis mayor’s office, said St. Louis is not interested in a bidding war.

A National Football League franchise does have value, and we should want one, but let’s use some common sense,” Rainford said. “The parameters are not a blank check.”
