RE: Cities not picked for expansion

The five finalists for an expansion teams were Memphis, Honolulu, Phoenix, Seattle, and Tampa Bay
For the 1995 NFL Expansion
The five cities that were finalists were Jacksonville (Jaguars), Charlotte (Panthers), Memphis (the Hound Dogs), Baltimore (the Bombers) and St. Louis (the Stallions)
For the 2002 NFL Expansion
Less than seven months after conditionally awarding its 32nd franchise to Los
Angeles, NFL owners pulled a reverse and selected Houston as the next
expansion city
When did the LA Rams move to St. Louis? I am wondering if that franchise moving impacted St. Louis for an expansion team.... but then again ... I don't recall the year the Cardinals moved out of St. Louis to head to Phoenix.
I wonder what Honolulu had as part of their package/bid... I have no idea if Pro Bowls were already being played there.
