The St. Louis Rams could be putting plans to move to California into motion.
Newly-elected Inglewood, Calif., mayor James Butts said Tuesday he has a meeting lined up with Rams owner Stan Kroenke.
Kroenke purchased a 60-acre plot of land in Inglewood in January, ostensibly for a new stadium.
Earlier this week, Missouri governor Jay Nixon lobbied for the Rams to stay in St. Louis. The Rams franchise was based out of Los Angeles from 1946 to 1994.
Kroenke has yet to publicly discuss plans to relocate his team, but it has been reported the NFL has a strong interest in moving a team to America's second-largest television market.
Inglewood has a population of approximately 110,000 people and is located in Los Angeles County.
