N.Y. is a real "city" all bunched up into a small piece of land. N.Y. is about sports, restaurants, theater. Los Angeles is spread out from Figueroa st. to the end of the world. Consequently it has a huge spectrum of stuff going on. Besides most people that live here came from N.Y. and want to hear about their "city". As long as the sun keeps shining here every day of the year there isn't much we can do about it. Actually I did some research and there are only 6 people including myself that were actually born here and live here.
f you can call L.A. a true "city"-in the likes of Chicago, N.Y., Boston, etc-we are a city of transplants. People COME here from N.Y. and those other cities not the other way around. So yes the coverage will in fact be different. Once we get used to the idea that the Rams are indeed a "home team" as opposed to some wandering circus (Cleveland to L.A.; L.A. to Anaheim; Anaheim to St. Louis; St. Louis to L.A.) hopefully coverage will be different. And it will help if they win some games too.
And as far as those 70,000 season tickets sold most of the purchasers were not like you or me. They were mainly corporations and corporate owned ticket agencies which likely were owned by people from or presently living in N.Y. They recognized that there is money to be made in the novelty of a new NFL team here. Will that last? We shall see.
