David Bohm, attorney for some of the plaintiffs, said the ruling was vindication for St. Louis PSL holders.
The FANS contract states that a relocation of the team terminates the contract. The judge ruled those PSL holders have the right to refunds, but no rights to season tickets or PSLs in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Rams, who are playing in the Coliseum until the new stadium is ready, are 1-1 this season.
In January, NFL owners approved the Rams' move back to Los Angeles after 21 seasons in St. Louis. It wasn't immediately clear whether the Rams would appeal. A team spokeswoman declined comment, citing the ongoing litigation. Messages left with team attorneys were not returned.
But contracts sold directly by the team do not state that the PSL agreement ends due to relocation, Limbaugh said.

The Rams argued that their move to LA terminated PSL agreements sold in St. Louis. PSL holders contended that not only were the licenses still valid, but that they also had the right for season tickets in Los Angeles.
"The Rams tried to exit without making any payments to any of the PSL holders," Bohm said. "They had no obligation to the fans who supported this team for 20 years. The judge found they did owe an obligation."

U.S. District Judge Stephen Limbaugh Jr. also said Wednesday that the Rams must refund deposits for other people who bought PSLs in St. Louis.
