.....and regular attendee's what they think about the Rams efforts/non efforts to advertise, tout, and otherwise promote & project the team onto the greater Los Angeles area.
I made it to 2 home games this season, and was personally very disappointed when I didn't see billboards all over the freeways, or giant murals of Aaron Donald on the side of 10 story buildings.... does Kroenke need to borrow a few bucks from his wife or something? I mean, I'm sure he'd be good for it.... right?
The kicker, was visiting Universal Studios City Walk... and they still have the Raiders store! There's a wonderful Dodgers store too, but the Rams? Nope.
What's the deal ??
The Rams don't really need to advertise with billboards or anything like that
They averaged 71,866 a game which is actually 100.1% of capacity(70,240)
The Niners invading SoCal is nothing new....heck they invaded Dallas a few years ago and that is a long ways away from the Bay Area
as seen here
I've been to every game since they've been back and have been impressed with how much the fan base has grown since those dark days of 2016
Most of the time it is 75% or more Rams fans.....
People forget that LA is a destination city for visiting fans....It's 75 in December and that is very appealing to a lot of fan bases and throw in a brand new stadium that is the crown jewel of the NFL that is also another big draw for visiting fans.
unfortunately going to the games isn't cheap with SSL's, seat prices, parking passes, food etc....and some fans try to recoup some of that hard earned money by taking advantage of the hot markets by selling their tickets.....I could sell my seats for this game that would pay for my entire season, but I'm too much of a die hard to do the smart thing
Memories are more important than money to me......
I do find it a bit odd that there are only a handful of us SoCal folks on this board who actually go to the games though
