LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Social media lit up Tuesday after the NFL approved the move to relocate the St. Louis Rams to Los Angeles.

"I still remember sitting at the Rose Bowl in 1980 watching the Rams play in the Super Bowl. Went to my last game in 1994. #welcomehomerams," tweeted LA Mayor Eric Garcetti.

Great day for LA! I'll see you at the Coliseum later this year!#welcomehomerams #LARams

Legendary NFL running back Eric Dickerson and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers also took to Twitter.

When the Rams were playing in Anaheim, I was a season ticket holder and got to watch @EricDickerson run behind Jackie Slater every Sunday!

Next week I'll be calling Rams owner Stan Kroenke to ask him if I can buy a suite in the new stadium!

Reaction, though, was mixed online with many fans expressing their dismay.

Tonight's ruling to move the #Rams to LA went against what sports are all about. Yes, it is a business, but it's much more than that...

While it's sad to see the @STLouisRams go, I'll always be appreciative of the 2 seasons they gave us in St Louis. #Rams

Can't believe that for the second time in my life the NFL is about to turn its back on the loyal fans of my home town. #Rams
