ST. LOUIS — Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke, his team and the National Football League want the U.S. Supreme Court to hear why a lawsuit over the team's 2016 departure from St. Louis should be settled behind closed doors.
A day after the Missouri Supreme Court ruled the relocation lawsuit should be decided in a St. Louis courtroom — and not in arbitration — Kroenke's lawyers filed a motion to halt the court's order until they can make their pitch to the nation's highest court.
Kroenke's lawyers said the Missouri high court's ruling will cause "irreparable harm" to the Rams by denying the team's "bargained-for right to resolve this case outside of court in an efficient and cost-saving manner.
