What's the point of this thread? To call the move a failure? To say it was a bad idea?

It takes a while to cultivate a fan base. Like you said, they haven't had a team in 20 years.

Did you expect immediate 90k seat sellouts for the Rams?

And from the look of the attendance stats, they are doing fine in that regard.

Its not a stupid thread. Thats a pathetic turnout given the market and the return after two decades.

Rams are killing it in LA.

For the record Im still a fan. Cant turn that off but this franchise will never win anything as long as Kroenke is the owner.

Sometimes it's best to just take the L and move on.

Well, it's better than 29-32 which the Rams were ranked the last 6 years in St. Louis.

Of course I am. I own that completely.

Nothing I said isnt true though. You can try and spin it all you want but any other market would be selling out an 0-16 team in their first year playing in a new city.

LA has always been a terrible NFL market.

Yes OP, this is why they moved to LA. That's how it's going to be for the rest o the time they're in LA.

Do you people think before you post?

So better attendance in a bigger city...

Again, what's the point of this thread?

I don't give two shits about you or Mizzou fans. I don't watch CFB.

It's 100% the thread. It makes no sense.

I just got back from the game. That scene was around 20 minutes before kickoff. Lots of people showed up in the interim and even after. The stadium was sold out and maybe 80% full.

Edit. I'm not sure. Maybe that was kickoff. Either way lots of people showed up late.

The numbers for today's game aren't in, but I looked at the numbers for the other Rams' home games in LA Memorial Coliseum...

They have averaged 85,362 per game in 2016. That would be a sellout in any NFL stadium. I repeat, that would be a sellout in ANY NFL stadium.

So they've averaged an NFL sellout all season.



Nice try, OP.

Hey St. Louis crapped out twice in the NFL. St. Louis just isn't big enough for the Cardinals, the Blues, and a NFL team. If you would have supported the team and built them a new stadium you'd still have them and in fact you NEVER should have taken the Rams away from Los Angeles in the first place.
