I'm really surprised they settled this instead of going to trial.
Whats crazy is

they probably got off for less then expecting when they left.

He made the move to LA knowing it would cost him. He dropped 800 mil plus another Billion on a staduum because he will make it all back bei g in LA.
Plus the NFL

They were apparently getting killed throughout the case and the other owners were very pissed off at kroenke. Not surprised this settled in the least.

The last thing these owners want is to have to disclose how much # they make/have.

Very surprised that the STL settled

I have a friend in St Louis that's been crying ever since the Rams left, his take was that a trial was a slam-dunk for multiple billions in damages
I suspect a team being placed

Even if they won the case it the NFL was going to appeal, this could have dragged on for years also the other owners were being dragged through the mud.
Smart move by both sides lets use the money to bring an NBA team to St. Louis.
