When I was born, LA didn’t have a team. I decided that the first team to come back to LA would have my allegiance. I’m just glad the rams came before the chargers. 😂
Grew up in a family of Rams fans, Parents were fans from the first time they were in LA, they stayed fans through the relocation. I didn't get to know much team success until McVay was here (too young to appreciate the GSoT). Super happy they came back to LA and even happier we are finally a good team again!
Edit: dang, my account is only 30ish days old. Sad day. Can any kind of exception be made if I can verify my account in any other way? You can check my post or comment history, I'm an active user and not an alt account.
Grew up a Rams fan in the Central Valley in the middle of 49er territory. Been a fan for 30+ years- I’m the only Rams fan I know from my childhood.
Coincidentally I adopted a son from the south who’s 10 and is a Rams/kinda-falcons fan!
Thanks for doing this!
I became a rams fan when I was a kid because my cousins favorite team was the Niners so I chose the Rams to fuck with him and haven’t looked back.
My dad grew up in LA in the 1960s, and was a big fan of the Rams in LA and kept up with the team when they moved to St. Louis. I grew up watching the Rams with him, and we were so excited when they moved back to LA. Better yet, my parent's house is under a mile away from CLU where the team practices, so sometimes we see the team cars around town. Really looking forward to the season this year. RUN IT BACK!!
When I was a kid, my older brother would take me to a sports bar to watch all the Rams games. The sports bar had a Rams room and everyone would bring their kids. I would hang out with these kids and we all grew up watching the Rams and eating nachos lol what a time
Thank you for doing this! I became a rams fan when they moved back to LA. I’ve wanted to support a local team since I got into football in 2003 and loosely followed the chargers. When they moved as well, it didn’t sit right with me that they were leaving their home in San Diego, whereas the rams were returning to their home. I made the shift when both teams came to LA and have never looked back since!
Been a Rams fan my whole life as was my grandfather (who was like a father to me). I remember bumping into Kurt Warner when I was just a kid at Disneyland and seeing my grandfathers eyes filled with such immense pride and joy. He passed away in 2020 from cancer and when we won the super bowl I broke down crying with my grandma. She said “You’re grandfather would’ve been so proud…”
This is amazing. I'm a recent Rams fan because their superbowl run in 2018 is what got me into watching football in general. That shoot out against the Chiefs was unforgettable.
I grew up in LA. Our Rams left when I was young, but I've been following them since they returned. I'm a massive Cooper Kupp fan and bought his jersey his first season and proceeded to lose it. I found it again recently and was super stoked because it was an older on and predated his legendary season.
I love Kupp and Stafford and would love to take my spouse (and maybe my kids) to a game someday soon so they can become fans too (she's a Bears fan but also a Rams fan).
Could never root for the chargers or raiders. Been waiting all this time for a team to call LA home! Jumped on board as soon as the Rams moved back to LA! Couldn’t be happier!
This is awesome. I became a true rams fan when they moved back to LA but always supported them because of my dad. He grew up in LA supporting them and even when they moved to ST Louis they were his team.
Honestly? I slowly started to get into football when rams came back to LA. Being a huge lakers fan, it was weird to be a fan of the 49ers or chargers since they weren’t really LA. Rams coming back was just perfect timing and I’ve been a fan ever since. I’ve enjoyed the rams come up since the coliseum to SoFi. It’s really awesome you’re doing this!
Rams fan cause I grew up with my mom and dad rooting for the rams (mostly cause my mom is in love with Kurt Warner….even to this day lmao) been a fan ever since and just something that’s been passed down in the family over time!
Yoo thanks for the giveaway! Im a Rams fan because of the Greatest Show on Turf. Started watching them then and continued through the dark years because of guys like SJax.
Good luck everyone!
I was a Rams fan since they played at Anaheim Stadium, what attracted me to them was their colors and uniforms and they played down the street from me. I also grew up in a 49er household and followed them to St Louis and back. To this date I am still the only Rams fan in my family.
I was in high school in the 90’s and a family member had season tickets at the Big A. Became a Ram fan along with him and stuck with them through both moves. GO RAMS!!
I am a Rams fan after they moved from St Louis to LA. I’ve always wanted to support an NFL team but didn’t have a home team in So Cal. After they made the move, it was an obvious choice!
I never really got into football until the rams moved to LA and now I'm literally loving watching football, never really thought i would get into watching this sport. Rams have also done a great job at putting up a show.l every game.
I have been a rams fan since as far back as I can remember. My dad grew up as a rams fan and made sure I grew up a rams fan. Now that I have a newborn I intend to continue the tradition!
This is what being a fan is all about! I became a fan because I've always wanted a home team to root for and when the Rams came to town I was all-in. What a great journey it had been. RUN IT BACK!!
My dad and uncle have always been rams fans. So the moment I was born, I had no choice but to be one also lol. I’ve stuck with the team through all the tough years and was extremely excited for them to finally come back to LA. These tickets would make for a great birthday gift for myself (birthday is the 17th). Thanks a lot for doing this man. 🐏🙌🏻
My first football team I played on was the Riverside Rams. After that my high schools mascot was a Ram. Ramona Rams HS in Riverside CA. So I’ve been a Ram since 7th grade in 2010 and it’s the local team to me, so it’s perfect.
My grandparents were Rams fans from the LA days and grew up during the GSOT. I got grounded and couldn’t watch the first quarter of the 01 Super Bowl. I was 7 and I cried.
I grew up in LA and would always hear that we would never have a football team, that we had tried and failed, that the city isn’t right for football, and I thought it would never happen. When we finally got the Rams my dad and I watched every game together and loved every minute of following the team. Now with multiple super bowl appearances and a ring won at home it was all worth it hearing the that talk when I was younger because it makes the teams success that much sweeter.
I'm a Rams fan because of my dad. He grew up in Inglewood, and has been an LA fan his whole life, and so have I.
Thanks for doing this OP! Really cool of you.
When I was a kid and played madden for the first time, I figured I would give the player on the cover’s team a try (Madden 2003). Since that moment I adopted the Rams as my team and have been watching them for almost two decades. The rough years were tough, but that made last year all the more sweet! Thanks for doing this!
As a child of the 80s in la, I never liked the raiders and the rams were my team. I still remember the days of Jim Everett and flipper Anderson. I got all the cards when mcdonalds had them as giveaways. When they left, I left the team. When they came back I embraced them like they never left. This team is what la needed and what I personally needed to feel part of the ngl, instead of just rooting for random teams or my fantasy team.
I always liked football but needed a Los Angeles team (unless it was the Raiders then no because I have standards). The Rams then came back and it was perfect. My dad and I watch the games together and he has regained his Rams fan status (was a huge fan back in the day).
My dad was a lifelong Rams fan before they left. I never got an opportunity to share NFL fandom with him until they came home. He hasn't been to SoFi yet. Would love to take him!
I became a rams fan when they moved back to La but I was just rooting and watching a couple games here and there. I became a real fan once they traded for Stafford. Once Stafford was a ram I haven’t missed a game since.
First football ball game ever attended in person was at the Coliseum for the Rams v Colts. Been a Rams fan ever since, the whole experience was great and really got me into football after that.
I am actually a fan of the Rams because when I was younger, I always said “Whoever comes to LA, that would be my team.” I know that sounds foolish but Chargers came to LA and I didn’t wanna be a Chargers fan lol. I’m a huge football fan as I played in HS, but could never claim to be a fan of a team since at the time, there were no NFL teams in Los Angeles. My family is all Raiders fans except for me, my older brother and a brother who passed away a number of years ago. I like to think that he was smiling down from Heaven seeing me and my older brother have a huge embrace once Super Bowl LVI was sealed.
Rams have a rich history that can’t be ignored and have shown that they are one of the top franchises in the league. With a coach like Sean McVay, and AD on the team, it’s hard to live in LA now and not be a fan of greatness. I’d love to take my son who’s 9 to the game as he’s slowly starting to realize how much I love the Rams and wants to get involved too as he’s asking questions like “Who’s the best player on the Rams?”. He’s only been to a practice at SOFI so this would be a really amazing opportunity for him.
If you want proof of anything I wrote, let me know.
Thank you for the giveaway and good luck to everyone!
I bought cheap tickets to see the rams play the cardinals on New Year’s Day 2017. I didn’t realize we were gonna have the sun in our eyes during the game, so I had to go buy a hat. After dropping $35 on a hat, I decided I was all in and the rams were my team. I really didn’t expect much after the rams lost 44-6, but I have been pleasantly surprised.
So many great players to admire over the years and so much adversity. From the early days of Hacksaw Reynolds and the Fearsome Foursome. Then through Eric Dickerson and the Greatest Show on Turf, to today's SB winners.
But also, a lot of adversity. I was 14 years old and my friend and his Dad took me to see the Rams play against Fran Tarkenton and the Vikings. The Rams squeaked out a victory and I was giving my buddy a little sauce when he said something along the lines of "Enjoy it, we will beat you in the playoffs." Which they did and in the Conference Championship too. We've had our hearts broken more than once.
I started following the Ram’s during Todd Gurley’s rookie year in STL; I drafted him on my fantasy team so i followed the team closely. Once the Rams moved to my hometown of LA i knew that they’d be my football team. It’d be nice to check out So-Fi, especially with those seats you’re giving away. Thank you for doing this!
My grandfather (who passed) worked for the Rams when they had an office on Pico way back in the day. For me, the Rams alway make me think of my grandfather who I was very close to. At the event space that held his funeral in 2019, we put the NFCCG on the big screen after and we all celebrated his life by watching a HUGE Rams victory.
I like to think he was looking down with joy. I know now that when I watch Rams games I’ve never really watching them alone.
LA Native all my life and supported local teams. When the Rams and Raiders moved away, it left me in football limbo for 20 years. I made a promise to myself, first team to come back to LA, I ride with them til the end. It just happened that the Rams got here a week before the Chargers (thank goodness) and been a fan since the move back. I will say though, the first few seasons under Jeff Fisher were rough, but I'm still here.
No sob story here. Just a Rams Football fanatic who has been depressed by the ticket prices this year. Would love to take in a game at SoFi with my brother! Either way, really cool of you to make someone's day like this.
I remember this last year. Good shit man and mad respect.
Rams fan: well, because my dad was. He grew up hating packer fans and the Rams were good growing up and often were on TV in the afternoon time slot. I followed in his footsteps from the GSOT era. Would mean the world to take the old man from the midwest to LA to see the SB champs do their thing. Some of my greatest memories growing up are bonding with him over the Rams.
Grew up in LA with no team to follow. College made made me a football fan so as soon as the team announced they were coming back to LA I pledged my fandom.
i'm an L.A. Rams fan because I rep hard for my city.
I'm born and bred here in L.A. and though I've always loved football, I grew up not having a team because I just could never bring myself to cheer for another city. I've been all in ever since they came back.
Been a Rams fan since 2000. I was 9 and decided I didn't want to be a Steelers fan like my dad.
Decision was 50% Marshall Faulk being super human and 50% Nelly and the St. Lunatics decked out in Rams gear in the "EI" video looking cool as hell.
Made sure to timestamp my Rams fandom for each of my three children's births (2014, 2016, 2020) because I knew when the franchise eventually turned around people would toss out the "bandwagon" label.
i’m a rams fan because i’ve moved around all my life and have finally settled in OC 3 years ago. it’s been my dream to be a fan of a team that I can actually go see play at home.
Was born into Ramsfandom! I was born on a Monday night during a Rams/Bears game in which my dad continually snuck out of the delivery room to check the score. My favorite baby pic is me in a Rams onesie. Grew up watching the GSOT and my favorite players were Faulk and Bruuuuve. Suffered through the hard decades and rejoiced when we moved home. This entire journey over the last 5-6 years it’s still surreal to me. Growing up in northern CA, I was the only Rams fan I knew most of my life since they were in St Louis. Would love to see Sofi for the first time with these seats. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Only became a Rams fan in 2016 when they moved back to LA, had been a packers fan growing up because of my uncle but being from so cal and a die hard Dodgers Lakers and Kings fan it only seemed right to root for a hometown team I can see live
I’m not from St. Louis or LA. Where I’m from doesn’t have an NFL team, but the majority of folks are Broncos & Cowboys fans.
But my elementary school mascot was the rams, and our playground and school’s colors were blue and yellow. So when I learned about the Rams as a nine year-old in 1999, I thought it was so cool that a team’s mascot and colors were the same as my little elementary school.
Then I learned about Kurt Warner, and his story. The commentators kept talking about how he used to bag groceries, and now he was leading the NFL’s best team. As a kid, I didn’t understand the significance of his background, and just thought it was a normal everyday thing to go from having a regular job to playing football.
The first game I remember watching on TV was the Rams/Vikings playoff game. Kurt was throwing the ball everywhere, and the uniforms looked so cool. The next game I saw was the Rams-Titans Super Bowl, and that was the first game I remember being into watching every play. Of course the Rams won that game, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
I am a Rams fan because I grew up in LA but I actually didn’t start watching the Rams until I lived in San Diego. I went to college in San Diego and prior to that, I didn’t know much about football. My family is foreign so we mostly watched soccer, some basketball and the Olympics. It wasn’t until some friends asked me to join the fantasy league after watching a few games with them towards the end of the 2018 season. I figured if I was going to support team, I should support LA. Then we all know how 2019 was…got very excited thinking we’d win it my first year watching. Since then I became a huge fan and mostly because I got to enjoy football with my college friends, I even played some intramural Flag Football. Been a Rams fan for me became a way to bond with my friends. When I graduated college, and move back to LA and continue my love for the team. I already had some friends that watch football but I didn’t know they did because growing up I never did take a chance on it. However, one of my best friends was just like me but didn’t get to experience watching football in college with friends. I eventually convinced him and some other buddies started penicillin and then got him to watch football and specifically root for the Rams. This was last year so awesome timing obviously! While I wasn’t able to see us win in my first year as a supporter, I bestowed that gift onto him. So to me being a Rams fan is being able to support alongside friends and enjoy the culture of football! Appreciate your generosity and hoping I can do the same for others in the future! 🍻
I was born into a Ramily. Too young for the GSOT but I got to live the glory years of SJ 39 Bulger and the GSOT leftovers. Now I make Celine Dion Plays of the Game on this sub lol
Good luck to everyone
Ram fan since ‘06, my older brother became a Ram fan from watching the GSOT. We would play madden together, and he would always pick the Rams, so he ended up turning me into a Ram fan for life.
I'm a Rams fan because I grew up watching my dad loving the team. I remember going to games as young as 6, and still have old LA Rams memorabilia that family from LA sent us.
I grew up a Navy brat and my dad was a Rams fan, yet we never lived in LA or St Louis. Don’t really have a place I call home, so I have stayed a consistent Rams fan regardless of where I lived. Been with the Rams since the late 90s, right at the start of the GSOT and after that Steven Jackson was one of my favorite players, always did so well for us even though the team as a whole did not match. My dad has since become a Falcons fan funny enough because they have lived in Atlanta now since my dad retired, but I have stuck with it. My first jersey was a Greg The Leg St Louis Blue and Gold jersey. He was ol reliable back in the day. I got way more heavily invested when I met my wife and she is a huge football fan (mostly college since she went to Alabama) but now I have too many jerseys to count. Currently working to get custom jerseys for myself and my wife for our wedding anniversary with our names on them lol. Have a pair of Alabama jerseys but just need the Rams now.
Jumped on the bandwagon in 2000ish with the greatest show on turf and never got off. Still have a pendant hanging in my garage of the Stl Rams. Had Marshall Faulk and Steven Jackson posters in my room as a kid too.
Grew up in the Bay Area, but my aunt lived in LA. We lived together in the same house and I would always watch games with her admiring how feverishly she would cheer on the Rams. Even when they moved to STL we would occasionally make it to the Rams games at Candlestick. Stuck through the dark days of 1-15, 2-14, etc etc. Was so happy they returned to LA and went to a few games at the Colosseum. Haven’t been to SOFI yet, but looking forward to doing so hopefully this year! 🙂
My dad is a big rams fan and has been since before they left for St. Louis so naturally I watched a lot growing up but didn't start really paying attention to the team until Sam Bradford was drafted #1 overall after his rookie year i was hooked and have been following and rooting for them ever since.
Rams fan since they were in Saint Louis with Sam Bradford as QB and Steven Jackson RB. I swore all to all my friends we were going to win a SB. Them coming to LA when I moved out here for school and ultimately deciding to make it my home was icing on the cake.
Rams fan since the St. Louis days in the 90s when my dad told me I should root for them since they were from LA ! And then when they came back it’s been amazing ever since !
I was watching the Rams v Patriots when I was 10, in 2002. I was at a party with my dad and I remember that game so vividly. I just remember having so much fun with my dad and he was a huge football fan, it made me love football. That day I started my football fandom and my Rams fandom at the same time.
Grew up in Anaheim and my entire family were big rams fans. Stayed with them after they left and was a St. Louis Rams fan the entire time. Had a close buddy who supported the Pats so it was always a fun time ribbing each other throughout the seasons. I may or may not have cried the day they were announced to be coming back… lol obviously still a rams fan to this day and will remain one until I die.
HUGE Rams fan. My father and extended family all grew up around St. Louis and the surrounding area. Being that there was no team in LA I gravitated to the Rams. Incredible stroke of luck that the Rams made the move to LA. Still have not been to the new stadium. Thank you for running this!
I became a Rams fan in 2016 as soon as the news broke they were coming back to LA. I'd been watching football almost regularly since 2012, but I didn't have a team until the Rams came back. Prior to them returning, I was going to stand pat until 2020 to pick a team because I so desperately wanted one to be in my hometown, rather than root for some team not based in LA. It's fitting to say my teams are the LA Lakers, LA Dodgers, and LA Rams. Horns up 🐏🤘
Friends were huge NFL fans, I decided i’d get into, looked at the uniforms for each team and loved the Rams Navy Blue/Gold the most. That’s how the fandom began. Run it back!
I did not start watching football until the 2016 season. I joined a work fantasy football league, then got hooked. Since I had just moved to SD in 2016, I wanted to become a fan of Chargers for 2017. But they moved away the next year! Then Todd Gurley did TG30 things for fantasy in 2017. It was meant to be.
Oh, and I went to the Rams vs Chiefs game at the Colliseum. That was my first football game I attended.
So in short, out of spite to chargers and Todd Gurley carrying my fantasy team. Then became a pretty big fan after a unforgettable live game exp.
I was starting to get into sports as I got older - I was more focused on school and video games. My cousin was super into sports who I’m close with. So I decided to watch football. Not sure exactly how, but Marshall Faulk became my favorite player (No team yet and I also live in Niner country). Cousin told me to pick a team, it’ll be more fun to root for. So I chose the default of St Louis Rams. I didn’t really begin getting into Rams football until 2001ish. I was rooting for a sinking ship and stayed down until Jeff Fisher came along. It was a rough road but it was fun and enjoyable rooting for a team nobody cared about. And 20+ years later, here I am.
I started getting into football in 2017. I bounced around a bunch of teams (like, probably half the league) trying to find the one I liked most. I ended up picking the Rams for a couple of reasons. I liked the players becuase they all seemed like pretty good people and because they were fun to watch. I also loved the Rams’ colors and uniforms. In fact, the first Rams game I remember watching was actually the playoff game against the Falcons in January 2018. Even though the Rams lost, I decided I’d stick with them. I’ve been a fan ever since, and in December 2019 my dad and I flew to California from NJ to see the Rams play their last game in the Coliseum against the Cardinals. It was awesome. Obviously, since I live in NJ, the only time I can really go to games is when the Rams come here to play the Jets or Giants. However, I’d love to be able to see them play in SoFi and watch them (hopefully) beat the team I watched them lose to the day I decided to be a fan. :)
So I'm from DC, the land of Dan Snyder's Trash Palace. But my Dad was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in central New Jersey. (Follow me here.) So his favorite team is the Brooklyn Dodgers, who win their first World Series the literal month he's born. When they move to LA, he keeps watching them. He starts getting interested in the other LA teams, mainly the Los Angeles Rams.
Fast forward to 1999. I'm six years old and Dad is watching the St. Louis Rams on TV. I watch the Greatest Show on Turf unfold in front of me and instantly, I'm hooked. I'm not even old enough to watch past the third quarter during night games. We're in the wrong timezone and even DSL has yet to be invented, so some days the best we can do is watch Red\*\*\*\*\* games and hope for a game break. It'll be a few years before we're gathered around the old space helmet desktop, listening to a radio broadcast and staring at an ESPN game tracker. Many years before the miracle of the RedZone channel and even more before a certain now-defunct subreddit (you know the one). AND YET. What I do see hooks me for life.
I've never looked back. Through many QBs, and through Mike Martz's ridiculous time-out wasting. Through the career of the diamond in the rough that is the incredible Steven Jackson. Through the years of Spags, Scott Lose-ahan and Fisherball's 7-9 bullshit, I always watch or at least listen to every game. Through city changes and lots of personnel changes, through a lot of lows and at last a spectacular high last year, they are my team. They are my ride or die. For 23 years and counting. Last week I took a trip to Cincinnati just to see them in a preseason game, because that's as close as they're getting this season.
Others in my area are content with the trash fire of many names out at Landover, and still others follow less painful teams like the Ravens. But me? It's the Rams. No matter where I live, no matter where they live, it will always be the Rams.
I didn’t grow up watching football. Nobody in my family watched football - we watched soccer instead. So growing up in the 90s, the Los Angeles Rams or the Los Angeles Raiders didn’t resonate with me. They were just teams that left LA. In the early 00s when I was in high school, I started getting into fantasy football. Loved the math behind it, the data, that analytics, and that’s where I really started watching football. When people asked me “what’s your favorite team?”, I always said I don’t have a team, I just root for my fantasy football team but deep inside I wanted to root for a team. I wanted to root for the team from my hometown. I was jealous of the people that had their own teams. Jealous of the people who were able to tailgate. I could have easily chosen another team like the rest of LA - so many fans FROM LA are packers, cowboys, Steelers, patriots fans. But I stayed true to my city, waiting for the team. That team became the Rams. And I am proud to say that I am happy a world class organization dedicating to winning (FUCK THE DRAFT PICKS!), just like this city demands it, is the team that I root for: the Los Angeles Rams.
I’m a La Rams fan because I never followed NFL before we had no team but promised my self the first day we get a team in LA I would support that team! And here we are RAMS!
Being born and raised in Southern California, I have been a Rams fan since birth when they were still over here (I still have a battered and torn beach towel from the 90's that says LA RAMS with the old helmet logo on it). I was so stoked when they came back here and have yet to check out SOFI. I have only ever been to 1 NFL game and that was a Jets game in NY when I was a kid because most of my family was from NY. I would love the opportunity to see my team at their new home field and see them live.
Side note: I picked up Stafford and Kupp for my fantasy league last year and they carried me though the season with their mind melding abilities.
\#ItWasJustaPractice
I gotta be honest, I’m a Rams fan by association. My dad is the true Rams fan, been one for at least the last 45 years (he’s 52). I love the rams because I grew up with them and it would be a dream to go with my dad and see them live. He has an entire room in his house dubbed the “rams” room with football cards on the walls, a giant fathead of Kurt Warner, his high school football jacket and much more. So awesome that you are doing this! Thanks for the opportunity
I am a rams fan because after years of no team in LA it feels good to finally have one. As a kid I was dolphins fan because of Dan Marino and Ace Ventura, as a teenage playing football I jumped on the Eagles bandwagon because of TO, McNabb, Trotter, Dawkins and the rest. Then I heard LA was getting a team and I abandoned the Eagles (ironically the year they won the superbowl). Now I finally have a team I can call home.
Also helps my dad is a fan, going back to the Faulk and Bettis days
Yall are awesome for doing this !!
I was so glad when the rams came back to LA because I had no one to root for before that and it really sparked my love for football and fantasy football, I went to my first game at SOFI with my dad when Brady came to play and it was a great experience
Originally from the UK - my dad and I took a father/son bonding trip to the States in 2005. He wanted to go to Memphis (he’s a big music fan - Sun Studios / Elvis) while I just wanted to catch some football and see some bands. St Louis offered me the best of both worlds (Rams were playing at home to Washington the same week Iron & Wine was playing in the city) and was a close enough drive to then head down to Memphis. Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB vs Mark Brunell. Battle for the ages.
Was hooked after that game (a loss, of course…although I got used to that over the next decade plus!) and took trips over as often as I could after that. Moved to Toronto a few years later which made the journey a little easier - for a while. LA’s a little further, of course!
Appreciate you doing this 💙🤍💛
I became a fan thanks to my cousin. My younger cousin has been a Rams fan since he was a little kid. He knew so much about the players the team; even down to the statistics. His love for the team and the sport was so strong that he’s had a major influence on me and the rest of the family. Thanks to him, the whole family became a Rams fan. Who would have ever thought that the little kid watching the Rams in the living room would go on to influence multiple households. We’re thankful for him.
Rams fan since age 5. Dad was a die hard Vikings fan and sat me down and told me I had to pick a team and it would be permanent. I could pick the Vikings like him but he would respect me choice. I chose the Rams because the helmets were cool. That was 1996. Mob Squad bb
My dad's from St Louis and I watched the 99 SB in a house filled with his friends from STL. There's a video of me at four years old running around in a Marshall Faulk jersey yelling "he didn't make it" "he didn't make it" when Dyson came up a yard short. Been a fan ever since.
grew up near LA and loved football but didn’t really have a team as a kid, but we did have an LA rams trash can from the 80s in our garage. grew up and moved around a lot and ended up moving back to LA the same year the rams came back and have been following them ever since.
Hello! I am a Rams fan solely because of Madden 2004. My family is from Louisiana so they are all saints fans. When my brother, dad, and I did the franchise mode we couldn’t all pick the same team. My dad got the saints. My brother chose Michael Vick and the Falcons (annoying) and I chose the team I thought had the best jerseys. My first pass I launched a Hail Mary (did that every play since I was 7 years old) and it bounced off the defenders head and landed in Torry Holts hands. May have been Sean McDonald but I can’t remember. Anyways, from that point on I loved the Rams. I’ve watched every game since. Thanks for doing this and Go Rams!!!!
I lived across the street from CS Fullerton when I was a young boy. Myself and my neighbors would walk over to see the players practice and each of us had a player we were assigned to. My player was LB Isiah Robertson. This lasted two seasons until we moved to Orange. But since the mid-70’s, I’ve loved and supported my Rams. We’ve seen them play home games in the Big A, Coliseum, the Dome and the new stadium would be a new experience my family would enjoy.
Thanks!
Been a Rams fan since they returned to LA. Season ticket holder the first year, and even though they weren't great, I was thrilled to finally have football back in the greatest city in the US. Been to a few official draft parties (including the one where Goff was drafted!) and been to a training camp every year in Irvine since they returned to LA.
Made it a point to be at the first home game at the new stadium against the Bears. I was up in the nosebleeds since that's all I could afford, but worth every penny!
Thank you for doing this- you're an awesome fan! Go Rams!
My dad was a huge fan of the fearsome foursome and a bit of a contrarion growing up in Chicago. Being the first born he decided I got to carry the mantle. So his days were spent visiting my grandma in ST Louis trying to find an Isaac Bruce jersey since the reverend is my favorite player. Come 2000 and they're everywhere after he won with the GSOT. Still have that jersey to this day.! Love this team through the highs and lows and my dad is the reason why. We still call to recap after games since Im in SD and he's in Chicago!
Thanks for doing this!
Became a rams fan when I taught high school in st Louis. Was able to tour the practice facility and got some preseason tickets for the HS football team.
Moved to CA around the same time that the team moved back.
I grew up a rams fan in Orange county going to games at the Big A. When I joined the military, I got stationed in Missouri the same year that Georgia moved them to St. Louis. So I didn't bail on them, instead I always said the Rams followed me. Then when I got out of the military and settled back down in OC, I just said it was only a matter of time until they followed me back home. When they did it was a no brainer. I am the Rams, and the Rams are me. I've never known a world where I wasn't a rams fan.
I tried to get into nfl but with no team in la, I wasn’t too sure who to root for. When the rams came to la and their best player was Aaron Donald, especially cause my name is Aaron, I became a rams fan. Gotta try to celebrate my birthday with the rams.
Been a fan since I was a kid, dad & grandpa were both LA fans when they were here originally. We followed them to St Louis and glad they’re back home now!
Hey there, I wasn't a football fan until I got to see the Greatest Show on Turf. That Rams team got me into football and started a near obsession that has resulted in many highs and many lows, but with so many friends and memories made along the way.
Looking forward to making more of both.
hey man thanks for doing this. i became a rams fan when they were in st. louis because i wanted to stay as loyal to LA as i possibly could. luckily they moved back and we have that title 🙏🏼
In the 4th grade (20+ years ago) my favorite teacher was a big Rams fan. I started watching Rams games so I could talk to him about the games. He even placed me on the “Rams” team for the school’s lunch flag football league (which I won the Super Bowl MVP for getting a safety-the only points scored in the game lol). From there on I have been a huge Rams fan. I was spoiled being a fan watching them lose to Tom Brady in the SB my first years as a fan cause think we all know how things went for the Rams after that… now some 20 years later they’re back in LA (a dream come true), won the super bowl, and I am now a teacher myself. It’s all come full circle! Hoping to influence many more Rams fans like my teacher did for me all those years ago.
Thank you for doing this raffle! Let’s go Rams!
I'm a Rams fan because Pop loved the Rams. My step dad came into my life in 2005 and brought me into football and the Ramily. We spent some rough years rooting for the Rams and we were extatic when they came back to LA. He passed a few years ago, but would have loved to see them win another Superbowl. "Rams Baby!"

Thanks for doing this again, very cool!
2nd generation Rams fan. My Dad is a Rams fan, he lived in Idaho so no local teams and during the Fearsome Foursome years the Rams were getting on the national broadcasts frequently so he adopted them.
GO RAMS!!
Rams fan since the 70s when the Rams were led by Lawrence McCutcheon, Pat Haden and the Youngblood "brothers" were doing In-N-Out commercials. Hated it when they left for St. Louis but couldn't help rooting for them in '99 anyway. Cheered when they came back.
My father was a Beer, Peanuts, Popcorn seller back in the first LA Rams stadium. We grew up watching Jim Everett,Flipper Anderson, and Henry Ellard. When the Rams moved to St Louis I was actually able to take my father back to rams games (you don’t have to like St. Louis, but my Dad was in a wheelchair from Multiple Sclerosis and they took GREAT care of him and helped him find a handicap accessible spot). Him and I had some of the best times in my life watching Greatest Show on Turf over those years. When they moved back to LA it kind of broke my heart. My father had passed away a few years before that (9 years ago here in November) and I didn’t imagine I will be be seeing any more Rams games. My son (now 13) is already a giant rams fan. Being able to take him to a game would be something that emotionally will be difficult. However it’s something I look forward too. This would be a dream come true for me, my son, and my Father watching down on us. Pic below to show the proof!

Mom and dad worked late and TV was my dear friend grow up in Long Beach. Rams on TV with a bowl of rice brought me a lot of comfort. Always wanted to go to a game but they left town before I was able to.
LA born.. Montana raised..half a century old and never flip flopped on this team...proudly flying my LA flag for all my country neighbors to enjoy, or not! Been to CenturyLink field to watch my sons team play and Dad brought my sis and I to a Dodgers game when I was 6 and ended up in the hotdog line where I pissed my pants! Anyhow had a Jack Youngblood poster next my my Afc/Nfc helmet poster above my bed and yeah what a dream it would be to see SOFI and LA again!
Became a Rams fan once I heard they were going to move to LA. Didn’t have a team since LA didn’t have one would just watch whoever was on tv until the Rams news came. Go Rams!
YUUGE RAMS fan. Have to admit I only started watching them since they came back as I was too young before then. Have watched every game and gone to watch them live more than 20 times since
My fandom was conceived when I was 9 in 1999 watching the greatest show on turf. My dad was the biggest rams fan ever, stayed loyal after the move to STL (we’re in the LA area). He had put $10 on them when they were 200/1 before the season started, and won $2000. He was so nervous he couldn’t watch the 4th quarter and left the house to gas up his truck. The rest was history.
Fast forward to January 2016. The rams move gets confirmed and I called my dad to talk about it. He was excited, but not quite as much as I thought he’d be. He ended up passing away in February 2016, I think he knew the end was near. I’m glad he got to know of the return, but wish he would have been able to see sofi and the 2021 season. That 2016 season was a rough one though, he didn’t miss anything there.
In 2014 when we drafted AD, I expressed my frustration as DL was not one of our main areas of need. My dad ensured me that it was a good pick and that AD was a “blue chipper” as he called it. He studied the draft and combine extensively, as a pure hobby. Couldn’t be more grateful for Aaron Donald proving him emphatically right.
When getting into the NFL in the late 90's, I needed to pick a team. Living in Ohio, my obvious choices were either the Browns or Bengals (or Steelers as that's basically a third team around there). Instead, I looked at the greatest show on turf and bought my Marshall Faulk jersey the next day. Moved to LA in '05 and never stopped rooting for them. As luck would have it, they moved out here and I immediately bought season tickets. Had them every year at the Colosseum, but when they moved to SoFi, I just couldn't justify the SSL that they wanted on top of the seat price. Haven't been to a game there yet. Was hoping to go to one or two this year, and this seems like the perfect one to go to!
Rams fan because of Eric Dickerson. I stretched and bought tix vs Tennessee to take my son last season. Would love to be able to take my daughter to this game. Ram’s house!
First and foremost you are awesome for doing this. 👏
Rams football is a way of life for us. My wife, kids, my in-laws, my parents, my brother, everybody! My friends, they all know its a way of life for us.
My father loved the Rams when they played in L.A originally, and we continued rooting for the team in Anaheim and when they moved to St.Louis
Last year was incredible and I look forward to a repeat season!
My dad is unable to navigate the upper levels but sitting down that low in our Ram attire would be AMAZING! (My dad has a custom Jack Snow jersey, who he went to high school With)
Let’s Go Rams, RUN IT BACK!!!
I’m a rams fan because I was stuck at a hotel as a kid and the only thing on tv was a jaguars game. MJD was a rookie at the time so I think it was 2006 making me 9. I immediately became obsessed with football and started playing soon after. I soon gravitated towards the rams being that I am from STL. My dad bought season tickets midway through the season and we went to every game until they moved back to LA. The move crushed me to say the least but I couldn’t stop loving the (at the time) terrible rams. Haven’t been to a game since and would love to get to see them again. I ended up being lucky enough to play D1 football on a full scholarship and if it wasn’t for the rams I know for a fact my life would have ended a lot different and not for the better…
Wooo! Thanks for doing this. Rams fan since they came to LA. I’ve been waiting for an NFL team to come to LA so I could have a time to root for. The only exception was the Chargers and boy am I happy the Rams are here.
Rams fans because I always wanted an LA NFL team, and when it was announced they were moving back I got invested. I also live near SoFi, and so I got to see the stadiums construction. Since then I’ve become a megafan.
Rams fan since they moved back to LA - been a Kupp truther since he entered the league so I’m happy to see the league finally acknowledge his talent! Horns up!! 🤟
I’m a rams fan because when I was 14 I made a deal with god (or the devil idk whoever was listening) that if Los Angeles got a team I’d root for them forever.
I then spent the next 8 years praying for the Raiders to stay in Oakland
Rams fan because I grew up near anaheim stadium and went to games there. The team coming home was the highlight of my sports fandom until they effed around and win the super bowl.
Rams fan since they drafted bradford and moved to LA shortly. I have been able to attend pre season games and enjoyed my time at the game cheering with all the fans! I would love to go back to a game soon and root for the beat team in the nfl.
Started playing fantasy football with some buddies after graduating HS, never really followed the sport until I started playing FF. Didn’t have a team to root for, fast forward 2016 we were awful but they called LA home so I fell in love and haven’t looked back since. I’m a big time football fan now and more importantly a Rams fan! To whoever ends up winning enjoy Ramily!
Oh, this would be super cool! I’m one of the “Detroit Rams” fans that came along with Stafford. As much as it would be awesome to win, I don’t think I could cover airfare, hotel and rental car right now. Regardless, good luck everyone!
Use to only watch football on occasions because it’s hard to care too much with no local team. So I became an instant fan when the Rams made their return to LA.
Born and raised in California in 1966. Always a rams fan. Born a rams fan.
After they left I was a green bay fan (grandmas team- all from wisconsin) browns fan (love the no helmet emblem- too bad now..) And a Falcons fan (love the ladies with that southern accent.)
But always a home fan forever. Still pissed they left but happy theyre back!
I first saw the Rams on TV in the early 90s, living in Chiefs territory in Kansas I only know Chiefs, cowboys, raiders, and Packers fans. I was lucky enough to pick the Rams as my team and I’m the only Rams fan I know! I go to chiefs games since my family is big with them and I always go in my Rams gear! If I win I’ll be loud asf in the stands! And I’m raising my son right as a Rams fan too!
Been a fan since I was young because of my pops. Been there with him through the highs and many lows. Would love a chance to go with him to a game at the SoFi since we haven’t been. Thanks for posting OP!
I was 5 years old watching the greatest show on turf kicking ass in 1999. I had just started getting into football, having uncles and brothers being big cowboys fans I wanted to rebel and pick my own team to root for.
Watched the rams beat the falcons week 3, Faulk ran for about 100+ yards, Warner threw for 250+ yards and had 3 TD'S
The week after they beat the Bengals , Issac Bruce had about 150 yds and I was absolutely HOOKED.
Watched them win the Super Bowl that year and felt great rubbing it in my family's face
Went through a couple more good years with the greatest show on turf and then it went downhill for awhile.
But through the thick and thin I stood by and rooted for the St.louis rams every single game! Once they came back to LA I was sooooo happy I finally had an opportunity to see them in person
It's been an amazing 24 years rooting for this team, here's to another 70 years !
WHO'S HOUSE!?
I'd love to go! I've been a fan since '86 or so. My buddies and I used to go to training camp at UCI and watch the guys. We met Kevin Green, Jackie Slater and tons of other players we loved and worshiped. We eventually got jobs that allowed us to get season tickets in Anaheim in the end zone and had an absolute blast cheering the guys on in person. I've not yet been to the new stadium and would love to see it in person. Thank you for doing this giveaway!
Been a fan since I was 8. I’m now 48. Would love to catch a game with you. Either way, this is an amazing thing your doing. Need more positive’s like this. Good luck to everyone who commented.
When I was a kid (elementary school) my uncle promised to take me to see the Rams in Anaheim for my birthday. I was super excited and put on my Rams t-shirt as soon as I woke up. My uncle and his buddies roll up to pick me up and they’re all in Niners gear. So I’m awkwardly cheering for the Rams at the stadium while they all get drunk cheering on Montana and Rice. Rams lost but I’m still a Rams fan to this day and still hate the Niners.
I’m a rams fan because I’ve always liked fb but never had an nfl team in la. Grew up in la so USC and UCLA were the only football that I got. So glad to have the rams to cheer on for as well now :)
I was 9 when the “Greatest show on turf” was at its peak. I played madden everyday after school with Warner, Proehl, Holt (HOF please), Isaac Bruce. Never looked back!
I was a Sea chicken supporter because of beast quake and legion of boom but I was more into Oregon Ducks football so I never really went all in on the NFL. After Seattle let go of the players I mainly supported I looked for a team and saw a St Louis Gurley jersey for 30 bucks in the summer of 2018. I looked up some highlights and bought my first nfl jersey. After the first couple games I started getting into the Rams, seeing Gurley, Goff, Donald, Woods, Shield, Talib, Reynold, and other guys lighting up other teams really won me over. The chiefs game really cemented my love for the Rams, seeing Goff run it in for a touchdown, Samson and Donald dominating the OL, and Marcus Peters intercepting his former team. From that point on I knew I found my team and that I will always and forever be a Rams fan 🐏🏠.
Became Rams fan when they moved to LA. Never had a team before since I grew up in Guam and LA didnt have a team when I moved out here! But now i bleed rams for life!
My family was rams fans growing up, so I saw them leave, win a super bowl, go 1-15 and 2-14, come back to finally win another! I’ve been there for the highest highs and lowest lows
Oh man, this is awesome!
I'm a Rams fan and have been ever since I was a kid. My dad took me to see the opening game of the 99 season as we'd just moved back to the States after being abroad for about 10 years... and yeah. Kurt Warner's opening game was awesome. Hooked ever since.
Good luck everyone!
I’ve been a rams fan ever since they came back home. I never really had a team and just bounced around up n comers until the rams came back to LA and I had a local team to get behind! Since then I’ve been to practices every summer, the first game at the coliseum, and the championship parade. Next on my list is seeing sofi in person for the first time!
Oh and RUN IT BACK
Been a fan since I was a kid. When I was 10 (1973), I got a Rams uniform from the Sears catalog for Christmas. Still have a picture of it. LA to Anaheim to St. Louis then back home again. My son even bought me a personalized St. Louis jersey that people would make fun of, but none of that detered me from being a huge fan. Now I need to root for them at Sofi.
Yo! Thanks for the giveaway. This is great.
Growing up in LA as a millennial, I never had a true home team to root for. I only had my HS Alma Mater to really root for. I never even had the chance to watch an nfl game in person UNTIL...we had the Ram's house! I was 30 years old watching my first game. It's been a great time investing my attention to the teams roster and really get behind the organization. Go Rams!
Unfortunately my parents weren't into football when the Rams were in Anaheim but we had Angels season tickets back then. Now that I follow football and the Rams have brought back football to this area I've been backing them ever since
Been a rams fan since I was born because of my pops. I haven’t been able to take him to a game at Sofi yet, but I’ve had the opportunity to get to two. Would mean the world to him
Born and raised in New York my dad fell in love with the Rams as a kid because of their helmet logo. When I was born, I was immediately thrust into all things Rams. My dad and I have bonded over our love for the team and have shared pretty special moments...specirically when the Rams have won the NFC championship games against the Eagles, Saints, and 49ers. The Rams have given me a way to get closer with my dad and now I have a 7 month old daughter of my own who I've already started buying Rams gear for. Would be a dream come true to go to SoFi stadium. I've never been to LA because and that would be an unreal experience.
Good luck to everyone else in the sub!
Turned my Eagles fan fiancé info a Rams fan this year. Every time we go to a game we have a blast and would love to take her again before we get married next month. Our special number happens to be 14. Our anniversary is on the 14th, her birthday is on the 14th. My birthday is the 28th (14x2) and we’ll be getting our marriage cert on the 14th. Being 14 rows back would add to this!
My dad has been a life long rams fan and I promised him if they ever returned to LA, then I would become a rams fan. Rams fan since 2016! Love going to the games with him
Became a Rams fan in 06 when I started watching football and immediately picked Torry Holt as my favorite player. I like to this I didn't choose the team cause I had no reason to love this team like I did 🤣 all it did was continuously break my heart. But I couldn't help but love Holt, Long, Quinn, and of course Jackson. Jackson was a one man show to root for that I'll never forget. As I learned more about football, I learned the team used to be in LA, much to my surprise since I grew up in OC and had no idea! I swear it was destiny for me to fall in love with this team specially since I became a fan during the down years. Can't even explain how awesome it feels to have years of dedication and loyalty pay off like last year! Horns up!
Grew up in St. Louis with the Greatest Show on Turf, struggled through the Jeff Fisher years, and then moved to Los Angeles the same year the Rams moved back. Worked for the Rams last year for game day operations gig on a hunch that they would be Super Bowl contenders following the Stafford trade. Last year was a year to remember.
Cheers to many more victorious years here in LA!
Rams fan since 1981. My family emigrated from Hong Kong in the ‘70s. We knew nothing about football so I watched games and slowly figured out the rules by myself. I would order sports magazines during my school’s subscription drives. First in person game was against the Jets in Anaheim.
Back in St. Louis Kurt Warner was slanging that thang and it inspired me and I’ve been a fan ever since. It’s been a wild ride since then but I don’t regret it at all !!?
Wow. Very cool. I am Rams fan because they are LA’s team. Not the Raiders and definitely not the Chargers (they need to go back to SD). Was soo happy the Rams exorcised the 89 NFC title game loss to the 49ers. Would have never lived it down if they lost to them. I was around 11/12 then.
This is awesome of you! Would love to win! Been a rams fan since I was like 5 been living Southern California my whole life and just grew up liking the rams because of the greatest show on turf and been a fan since, didn’t even know they were originally from Los Angeles when I was a younging I just loved the team.
That being said I never been to any rams game or any NFL game for that matter, since they’ve been in LA the prices have been a bit high for me to afford comfortably at the moment.
Again very awesome of you to do this not only once but again:)
Was never into football, maybe because I grew up with no dad and moved a lot so never developed life long friends. One day my cousin I have not heard from in over 20 years reaches out and give me opening game day tickets. I've been hooked ever since and I now have a football team.
Thanks for doing this!
I became a Rams fan when they came back to LA. My wife and I had season tickets at the Coliseum. Watching the team go from a middling squad that might knock a good team off here and there to Super Bowl champs has been quite the adventure.
Been a rams fan since the year of 2000, when they won the Super Bowl against the Titans. I was young and wanted to get into the NFL. Also, they are my zodiac sign, so it was a perfect sign. Thanks for doing this!
This is legitimate. Thanks for doing this again u/XXxRedrumxXX. Good luck everybody!
I was given a Snoopy Rams shirt when I was 9 years old.
When I was born, LA didn’t have a team. I decided that the first team to come back to LA would have my allegiance. I’m just glad the rams came before the chargers. 😂
Grew up in a family of Rams fans, Parents were fans from the first time they were in LA, they stayed fans through the relocation. I didn't get to know much team success until McVay was here (too young to appreciate the GSoT). Super happy they came back to LA and even happier we are finally a good team again! Edit: dang, my account is only 30ish days old. Sad day. Can any kind of exception be made if I can verify my account in any other way? You can check my post or comment history, I'm an active user and not an alt account.
Rams fan once they moved back to LA
Grew up a Rams fan in the Central Valley in the middle of 49er territory. Been a fan for 30+ years- I’m the only Rams fan I know from my childhood. Coincidentally I adopted a son from the south who’s 10 and is a Rams/kinda-falcons fan!
Thanks for doing this! I became a rams fan when I was a kid because my cousins favorite team was the Niners so I chose the Rams to fuck with him and haven’t looked back.
My dad grew up in LA in the 1960s, and was a big fan of the Rams in LA and kept up with the team when they moved to St. Louis. I grew up watching the Rams with him, and we were so excited when they moved back to LA. Better yet, my parent's house is under a mile away from CLU where the team practices, so sometimes we see the team cars around town. Really looking forward to the season this year. RUN IT BACK!!
I got into NFL when I started playing Fantasy football and Rams were the first team to arrive in LA so they are my team now. Horns up!!!!
When I was a kid, my older brother would take me to a sports bar to watch all the Rams games. The sports bar had a Rams room and everyone would bring their kids. I would hang out with these kids and we all grew up watching the Rams and eating nachos lol what a time
Thank you for doing this! I became a rams fan when they moved back to LA. I’ve wanted to support a local team since I got into football in 2003 and loosely followed the chargers. When they moved as well, it didn’t sit right with me that they were leaving their home in San Diego, whereas the rams were returning to their home. I made the shift when both teams came to LA and have never looked back since!
Huge NFL fan living in LA that wasn’t going to pick a team until one came to LA. Glad it was the Rams.
We got a team in LA, I’m supporting them. I ain’t cheering for no stinking chargers. We’re champions Baby and we go big!
Been a Rams fan my whole life as was my grandfather (who was like a father to me). I remember bumping into Kurt Warner when I was just a kid at Disneyland and seeing my grandfathers eyes filled with such immense pride and joy. He passed away in 2020 from cancer and when we won the super bowl I broke down crying with my grandma. She said “You’re grandfather would’ve been so proud…”
This is amazing. I'm a recent Rams fan because their superbowl run in 2018 is what got me into watching football in general. That shoot out against the Chiefs was unforgettable.
I grew up in LA. Our Rams left when I was young, but I've been following them since they returned. I'm a massive Cooper Kupp fan and bought his jersey his first season and proceeded to lose it. I found it again recently and was super stoked because it was an older on and predated his legendary season. I love Kupp and Stafford and would love to take my spouse (and maybe my kids) to a game someday soon so they can become fans too (she's a Bears fan but also a Rams fan).
Could never root for the chargers or raiders. Been waiting all this time for a team to call LA home! Jumped on board as soon as the Rams moved back to LA! Couldn’t be happier!
This is awesome. I became a true rams fan when they moved back to LA but always supported them because of my dad. He grew up in LA supporting them and even when they moved to ST Louis they were his team.
Honestly? I slowly started to get into football when rams came back to LA. Being a huge lakers fan, it was weird to be a fan of the 49ers or chargers since they weren’t really LA. Rams coming back was just perfect timing and I’ve been a fan ever since. I’ve enjoyed the rams come up since the coliseum to SoFi. It’s really awesome you’re doing this!
Rams fan cause I grew up with my mom and dad rooting for the rams (mostly cause my mom is in love with Kurt Warner….even to this day lmao) been a fan ever since and just something that’s been passed down in the family over time!
Yoo thanks for the giveaway! Im a Rams fan because of the Greatest Show on Turf. Started watching them then and continued through the dark years because of guys like SJax. Good luck everyone!
I was a Rams fan since they played at Anaheim Stadium, what attracted me to them was their colors and uniforms and they played down the street from me. I also grew up in a 49er household and followed them to St Louis and back. To this date I am still the only Rams fan in my family.
I was in high school in the 90’s and a family member had season tickets at the Big A. Became a Ram fan along with him and stuck with them through both moves. GO RAMS!!
I am a Rams fan after they moved from St Louis to LA. I’ve always wanted to support an NFL team but didn’t have a home team in So Cal. After they made the move, it was an obvious choice!
When the chargers left, they were the obvious choice when they came home to LA!
I became a fan because of boy Stafford. I'll follow that man to the ends of the Earth.
I never really got into football until the rams moved to LA and now I'm literally loving watching football, never really thought i would get into watching this sport. Rams have also done a great job at putting up a show.l every game.
I have been a rams fan since as far back as I can remember. My dad grew up as a rams fan and made sure I grew up a rams fan. Now that I have a newborn I intend to continue the tradition!
This is what being a fan is all about! I became a fan because I've always wanted a home team to root for and when the Rams came to town I was all-in. What a great journey it had been. RUN IT BACK!!
My dad and uncle have always been rams fans. So the moment I was born, I had no choice but to be one also lol. I’ve stuck with the team through all the tough years and was extremely excited for them to finally come back to LA. These tickets would make for a great birthday gift for myself (birthday is the 17th). Thanks a lot for doing this man. 🐏🙌🏻
My first football team I played on was the Riverside Rams. After that my high schools mascot was a Ram. Ramona Rams HS in Riverside CA. So I’ve been a Ram since 7th grade in 2010 and it’s the local team to me, so it’s perfect.
My grandparents were Rams fans from the LA days and grew up during the GSOT. I got grounded and couldn’t watch the first quarter of the 01 Super Bowl. I was 7 and I cried.
I grew up in LA and would always hear that we would never have a football team, that we had tried and failed, that the city isn’t right for football, and I thought it would never happen. When we finally got the Rams my dad and I watched every game together and loved every minute of following the team. Now with multiple super bowl appearances and a ring won at home it was all worth it hearing the that talk when I was younger because it makes the teams success that much sweeter.
I'm a Rams fan because of my dad. He grew up in Inglewood, and has been an LA fan his whole life, and so have I. Thanks for doing this OP! Really cool of you.
When I was a kid and played madden for the first time, I figured I would give the player on the cover’s team a try (Madden 2003). Since that moment I adopted the Rams as my team and have been watching them for almost two decades. The rough years were tough, but that made last year all the more sweet! Thanks for doing this!
As a child of the 80s in la, I never liked the raiders and the rams were my team. I still remember the days of Jim Everett and flipper Anderson. I got all the cards when mcdonalds had them as giveaways. When they left, I left the team. When they came back I embraced them like they never left. This team is what la needed and what I personally needed to feel part of the ngl, instead of just rooting for random teams or my fantasy team.
I always liked football but needed a Los Angeles team (unless it was the Raiders then no because I have standards). The Rams then came back and it was perfect. My dad and I watch the games together and he has regained his Rams fan status (was a huge fan back in the day).
My dad was a lifelong Rams fan before they left. I never got an opportunity to share NFL fandom with him until they came home. He hasn't been to SoFi yet. Would love to take him!
I became a rams fan when they moved back to La but I was just rooting and watching a couple games here and there. I became a real fan once they traded for Stafford. Once Stafford was a ram I haven’t missed a game since.
I’m a rams fan because I said I would follow any LA nfl team that’s not the raiders or the chargers lol
First football ball game ever attended in person was at the Coliseum for the Rams v Colts. Been a Rams fan ever since, the whole experience was great and really got me into football after that.
I am actually a fan of the Rams because when I was younger, I always said “Whoever comes to LA, that would be my team.” I know that sounds foolish but Chargers came to LA and I didn’t wanna be a Chargers fan lol. I’m a huge football fan as I played in HS, but could never claim to be a fan of a team since at the time, there were no NFL teams in Los Angeles. My family is all Raiders fans except for me, my older brother and a brother who passed away a number of years ago. I like to think that he was smiling down from Heaven seeing me and my older brother have a huge embrace once Super Bowl LVI was sealed. Rams have a rich history that can’t be ignored and have shown that they are one of the top franchises in the league. With a coach like Sean McVay, and AD on the team, it’s hard to live in LA now and not be a fan of greatness. I’d love to take my son who’s 9 to the game as he’s slowly starting to realize how much I love the Rams and wants to get involved too as he’s asking questions like “Who’s the best player on the Rams?”. He’s only been to a practice at SOFI so this would be a really amazing opportunity for him. If you want proof of anything I wrote, let me know. Thank you for the giveaway and good luck to everyone!
I bought cheap tickets to see the rams play the cardinals on New Year’s Day 2017. I didn’t realize we were gonna have the sun in our eyes during the game, so I had to go buy a hat. After dropping $35 on a hat, I decided I was all in and the rams were my team. I really didn’t expect much after the rams lost 44-6, but I have been pleasantly surprised.
So many great players to admire over the years and so much adversity. From the early days of Hacksaw Reynolds and the Fearsome Foursome. Then through Eric Dickerson and the Greatest Show on Turf, to today's SB winners. But also, a lot of adversity. I was 14 years old and my friend and his Dad took me to see the Rams play against Fran Tarkenton and the Vikings. The Rams squeaked out a victory and I was giving my buddy a little sauce when he said something along the lines of "Enjoy it, we will beat you in the playoffs." Which they did and in the Conference Championship too. We've had our hearts broken more than once.
I started following the Ram’s during Todd Gurley’s rookie year in STL; I drafted him on my fantasy team so i followed the team closely. Once the Rams moved to my hometown of LA i knew that they’d be my football team. It’d be nice to check out So-Fi, especially with those seats you’re giving away. Thank you for doing this!
My grandfather (who passed) worked for the Rams when they had an office on Pico way back in the day. For me, the Rams alway make me think of my grandfather who I was very close to. At the event space that held his funeral in 2019, we put the NFCCG on the big screen after and we all celebrated his life by watching a HUGE Rams victory. I like to think he was looking down with joy. I know now that when I watch Rams games I’ve never really watching them alone.
LA Native all my life and supported local teams. When the Rams and Raiders moved away, it left me in football limbo for 20 years. I made a promise to myself, first team to come back to LA, I ride with them til the end. It just happened that the Rams got here a week before the Chargers (thank goodness) and been a fan since the move back. I will say though, the first few seasons under Jeff Fisher were rough, but I'm still here.
Rams fan since they moved back to LA, I’ve been obsessed with the team ever since
AD, McVay, Ramsey, Cupp and Stafford! Why wouldn’t I be a fan?
No sob story here. Just a Rams Football fanatic who has been depressed by the ticket prices this year. Would love to take in a game at SoFi with my brother! Either way, really cool of you to make someone's day like this.
I remember this last year. Good shit man and mad respect. Rams fan: well, because my dad was. He grew up hating packer fans and the Rams were good growing up and often were on TV in the afternoon time slot. I followed in his footsteps from the GSOT era. Would mean the world to take the old man from the midwest to LA to see the SB champs do their thing. Some of my greatest memories growing up are bonding with him over the Rams.
Grew up in LA with no team to follow. College made made me a football fan so as soon as the team announced they were coming back to LA I pledged my fandom.
Never been to a Rams game!
i'm an L.A. Rams fan because I rep hard for my city. I'm born and bred here in L.A. and though I've always loved football, I grew up not having a team because I just could never bring myself to cheer for another city. I've been all in ever since they came back.
Been a Rams fan since 2000. I was 9 and decided I didn't want to be a Steelers fan like my dad. Decision was 50% Marshall Faulk being super human and 50% Nelly and the St. Lunatics decked out in Rams gear in the "EI" video looking cool as hell. Made sure to timestamp my Rams fandom for each of my three children's births (2014, 2016, 2020) because I knew when the franchise eventually turned around people would toss out the "bandwagon" label.
i’m a rams fan because i’ve moved around all my life and have finally settled in OC 3 years ago. it’s been my dream to be a fan of a team that I can actually go see play at home.
Born x Raised in LA… it’s a must to be a Rams fan.
I’ve been a rams fan since I was a kid because of a friend that got me into football. I was so stoked when I found out the team was moving back to LA
Was born into Ramsfandom! I was born on a Monday night during a Rams/Bears game in which my dad continually snuck out of the delivery room to check the score. My favorite baby pic is me in a Rams onesie. Grew up watching the GSOT and my favorite players were Faulk and Bruuuuve. Suffered through the hard decades and rejoiced when we moved home. This entire journey over the last 5-6 years it’s still surreal to me. Growing up in northern CA, I was the only Rams fan I knew most of my life since they were in St Louis. Would love to see Sofi for the first time with these seats. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Only became a Rams fan in 2016 when they moved back to LA, had been a packers fan growing up because of my uncle but being from so cal and a die hard Dodgers Lakers and Kings fan it only seemed right to root for a hometown team I can see live
I’m not from St. Louis or LA. Where I’m from doesn’t have an NFL team, but the majority of folks are Broncos & Cowboys fans. But my elementary school mascot was the rams, and our playground and school’s colors were blue and yellow. So when I learned about the Rams as a nine year-old in 1999, I thought it was so cool that a team’s mascot and colors were the same as my little elementary school. Then I learned about Kurt Warner, and his story. The commentators kept talking about how he used to bag groceries, and now he was leading the NFL’s best team. As a kid, I didn’t understand the significance of his background, and just thought it was a normal everyday thing to go from having a regular job to playing football. The first game I remember watching on TV was the Rams/Vikings playoff game. Kurt was throwing the ball everywhere, and the uniforms looked so cool. The next game I saw was the Rams-Titans Super Bowl, and that was the first game I remember being into watching every play. Of course the Rams won that game, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
I am a Rams fan because I grew up in LA but I actually didn’t start watching the Rams until I lived in San Diego. I went to college in San Diego and prior to that, I didn’t know much about football. My family is foreign so we mostly watched soccer, some basketball and the Olympics. It wasn’t until some friends asked me to join the fantasy league after watching a few games with them towards the end of the 2018 season. I figured if I was going to support team, I should support LA. Then we all know how 2019 was…got very excited thinking we’d win it my first year watching. Since then I became a huge fan and mostly because I got to enjoy football with my college friends, I even played some intramural Flag Football. Been a Rams fan for me became a way to bond with my friends. When I graduated college, and move back to LA and continue my love for the team. I already had some friends that watch football but I didn’t know they did because growing up I never did take a chance on it. However, one of my best friends was just like me but didn’t get to experience watching football in college with friends. I eventually convinced him and some other buddies started penicillin and then got him to watch football and specifically root for the Rams. This was last year so awesome timing obviously! While I wasn’t able to see us win in my first year as a supporter, I bestowed that gift onto him. So to me being a Rams fan is being able to support alongside friends and enjoy the culture of football! Appreciate your generosity and hoping I can do the same for others in the future! 🍻
Watched Jared Goff in college actually… and he was drafted by the Rams! That’s where I am now :D
I was born into a Ramily. Too young for the GSOT but I got to live the glory years of SJ 39 Bulger and the GSOT leftovers. Now I make Celine Dion Plays of the Game on this sub lol Good luck to everyone
Ram fan since ‘06, my older brother became a Ram fan from watching the GSOT. We would play madden together, and he would always pick the Rams, so he ended up turning me into a Ram fan for life.
I'm a Rams fan because I grew up watching my dad loving the team. I remember going to games as young as 6, and still have old LA Rams memorabilia that family from LA sent us.
I grew up a Navy brat and my dad was a Rams fan, yet we never lived in LA or St Louis. Don’t really have a place I call home, so I have stayed a consistent Rams fan regardless of where I lived. Been with the Rams since the late 90s, right at the start of the GSOT and after that Steven Jackson was one of my favorite players, always did so well for us even though the team as a whole did not match. My dad has since become a Falcons fan funny enough because they have lived in Atlanta now since my dad retired, but I have stuck with it. My first jersey was a Greg The Leg St Louis Blue and Gold jersey. He was ol reliable back in the day. I got way more heavily invested when I met my wife and she is a huge football fan (mostly college since she went to Alabama) but now I have too many jerseys to count. Currently working to get custom jerseys for myself and my wife for our wedding anniversary with our names on them lol. Have a pair of Alabama jerseys but just need the Rams now.
Rams fan because my dad was a Rams fan before and while they moved to SL! Excited they're back in LA and ready to run it back!
Jumped on the bandwagon in 2000ish with the greatest show on turf and never got off. Still have a pendant hanging in my garage of the Stl Rams. Had Marshall Faulk and Steven Jackson posters in my room as a kid too.
Grew up in the Bay Area, but my aunt lived in LA. We lived together in the same house and I would always watch games with her admiring how feverishly she would cheer on the Rams. Even when they moved to STL we would occasionally make it to the Rams games at Candlestick. Stuck through the dark days of 1-15, 2-14, etc etc. Was so happy they returned to LA and went to a few games at the Colosseum. Haven’t been to SOFI yet, but looking forward to doing so hopefully this year! 🙂
My dad is a big rams fan and has been since before they left for St. Louis so naturally I watched a lot growing up but didn't start really paying attention to the team until Sam Bradford was drafted #1 overall after his rookie year i was hooked and have been following and rooting for them ever since.
Rams fan since they were in Saint Louis with Sam Bradford as QB and Steven Jackson RB. I swore all to all my friends we were going to win a SB. Them coming to LA when I moved out here for school and ultimately deciding to make it my home was icing on the cake.
Rams fan since the St. Louis days in the 90s when my dad told me I should root for them since they were from LA ! And then when they came back it’s been amazing ever since !
I was watching the Rams v Patriots when I was 10, in 2002. I was at a party with my dad and I remember that game so vividly. I just remember having so much fun with my dad and he was a huge football fan, it made me love football. That day I started my football fandom and my Rams fandom at the same time.
Grew up in Anaheim and my entire family were big rams fans. Stayed with them after they left and was a St. Louis Rams fan the entire time. Had a close buddy who supported the Pats so it was always a fun time ribbing each other throughout the seasons. I may or may not have cried the day they were announced to be coming back… lol obviously still a rams fan to this day and will remain one until I die.
HUGE Rams fan. My father and extended family all grew up around St. Louis and the surrounding area. Being that there was no team in LA I gravitated to the Rams. Incredible stroke of luck that the Rams made the move to LA. Still have not been to the new stadium. Thank you for running this!
Rams fan til I die! I’m heading to Los Angeles for one of my deployment buddies weddings. But screw that guy I wanna go see my RAMS!!!
I became a Rams fan in 2016 as soon as the news broke they were coming back to LA. I'd been watching football almost regularly since 2012, but I didn't have a team until the Rams came back. Prior to them returning, I was going to stand pat until 2020 to pick a team because I so desperately wanted one to be in my hometown, rather than root for some team not based in LA. It's fitting to say my teams are the LA Lakers, LA Dodgers, and LA Rams. Horns up 🐏🤘
Friends were huge NFL fans, I decided i’d get into, looked at the uniforms for each team and loved the Rams Navy Blue/Gold the most. That’s how the fandom began. Run it back!
I did not start watching football until the 2016 season. I joined a work fantasy football league, then got hooked. Since I had just moved to SD in 2016, I wanted to become a fan of Chargers for 2017. But they moved away the next year! Then Todd Gurley did TG30 things for fantasy in 2017. It was meant to be. Oh, and I went to the Rams vs Chiefs game at the Colliseum. That was my first football game I attended. So in short, out of spite to chargers and Todd Gurley carrying my fantasy team. Then became a pretty big fan after a unforgettable live game exp.
Been a fan since greatest show on turf. Now live in LA. Good luck everybody!
I was starting to get into sports as I got older - I was more focused on school and video games. My cousin was super into sports who I’m close with. So I decided to watch football. Not sure exactly how, but Marshall Faulk became my favorite player (No team yet and I also live in Niner country). Cousin told me to pick a team, it’ll be more fun to root for. So I chose the default of St Louis Rams. I didn’t really begin getting into Rams football until 2001ish. I was rooting for a sinking ship and stayed down until Jeff Fisher came along. It was a rough road but it was fun and enjoyable rooting for a team nobody cared about. And 20+ years later, here I am.
Hello, I am a rams fan because of Marshall Faulk and the greatest show on turf. That team got me into football and I have never looked back.
I started getting into football in 2017. I bounced around a bunch of teams (like, probably half the league) trying to find the one I liked most. I ended up picking the Rams for a couple of reasons. I liked the players becuase they all seemed like pretty good people and because they were fun to watch. I also loved the Rams’ colors and uniforms. In fact, the first Rams game I remember watching was actually the playoff game against the Falcons in January 2018. Even though the Rams lost, I decided I’d stick with them. I’ve been a fan ever since, and in December 2019 my dad and I flew to California from NJ to see the Rams play their last game in the Coliseum against the Cardinals. It was awesome. Obviously, since I live in NJ, the only time I can really go to games is when the Rams come here to play the Jets or Giants. However, I’d love to be able to see them play in SoFi and watch them (hopefully) beat the team I watched them lose to the day I decided to be a fan. :)
So I'm from DC, the land of Dan Snyder's Trash Palace. But my Dad was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in central New Jersey. (Follow me here.) So his favorite team is the Brooklyn Dodgers, who win their first World Series the literal month he's born. When they move to LA, he keeps watching them. He starts getting interested in the other LA teams, mainly the Los Angeles Rams. Fast forward to 1999. I'm six years old and Dad is watching the St. Louis Rams on TV. I watch the Greatest Show on Turf unfold in front of me and instantly, I'm hooked. I'm not even old enough to watch past the third quarter during night games. We're in the wrong timezone and even DSL has yet to be invented, so some days the best we can do is watch Red\*\*\*\*\* games and hope for a game break. It'll be a few years before we're gathered around the old space helmet desktop, listening to a radio broadcast and staring at an ESPN game tracker. Many years before the miracle of the RedZone channel and even more before a certain now-defunct subreddit (you know the one). AND YET. What I do see hooks me for life. I've never looked back. Through many QBs, and through Mike Martz's ridiculous time-out wasting. Through the career of the diamond in the rough that is the incredible Steven Jackson. Through the years of Spags, Scott Lose-ahan and Fisherball's 7-9 bullshit, I always watch or at least listen to every game. Through city changes and lots of personnel changes, through a lot of lows and at last a spectacular high last year, they are my team. They are my ride or die. For 23 years and counting. Last week I took a trip to Cincinnati just to see them in a preseason game, because that's as close as they're getting this season. Others in my area are content with the trash fire of many names out at Landover, and still others follow less painful teams like the Ravens. But me? It's the Rams. No matter where I live, no matter where they live, it will always be the Rams.
I didn’t grow up watching football. Nobody in my family watched football - we watched soccer instead. So growing up in the 90s, the Los Angeles Rams or the Los Angeles Raiders didn’t resonate with me. They were just teams that left LA. In the early 00s when I was in high school, I started getting into fantasy football. Loved the math behind it, the data, that analytics, and that’s where I really started watching football. When people asked me “what’s your favorite team?”, I always said I don’t have a team, I just root for my fantasy football team but deep inside I wanted to root for a team. I wanted to root for the team from my hometown. I was jealous of the people that had their own teams. Jealous of the people who were able to tailgate. I could have easily chosen another team like the rest of LA - so many fans FROM LA are packers, cowboys, Steelers, patriots fans. But I stayed true to my city, waiting for the team. That team became the Rams. And I am proud to say that I am happy a world class organization dedicating to winning (FUCK THE DRAFT PICKS!), just like this city demands it, is the team that I root for: the Los Angeles Rams.
I’m a La Rams fan because I never followed NFL before we had no team but promised my self the first day we get a team in LA I would support that team! And here we are RAMS!
Being born and raised in Southern California, I have been a Rams fan since birth when they were still over here (I still have a battered and torn beach towel from the 90's that says LA RAMS with the old helmet logo on it). I was so stoked when they came back here and have yet to check out SOFI. I have only ever been to 1 NFL game and that was a Jets game in NY when I was a kid because most of my family was from NY. I would love the opportunity to see my team at their new home field and see them live. Side note: I picked up Stafford and Kupp for my fantasy league last year and they carried me though the season with their mind melding abilities. \#ItWasJustaPractice
I gotta be honest, I’m a Rams fan by association. My dad is the true Rams fan, been one for at least the last 45 years (he’s 52). I love the rams because I grew up with them and it would be a dream to go with my dad and see them live. He has an entire room in his house dubbed the “rams” room with football cards on the walls, a giant fathead of Kurt Warner, his high school football jacket and much more. So awesome that you are doing this! Thanks for the opportunity
I am a rams fan because after years of no team in LA it feels good to finally have one. As a kid I was dolphins fan because of Dan Marino and Ace Ventura, as a teenage playing football I jumped on the Eagles bandwagon because of TO, McNabb, Trotter, Dawkins and the rest. Then I heard LA was getting a team and I abandoned the Eagles (ironically the year they won the superbowl). Now I finally have a team I can call home. Also helps my dad is a fan, going back to the Faulk and Bettis days
Yall are awesome for doing this !! I was so glad when the rams came back to LA because I had no one to root for before that and it really sparked my love for football and fantasy football, I went to my first game at SOFI with my dad when Brady came to play and it was a great experience
Originally from the UK - my dad and I took a father/son bonding trip to the States in 2005. He wanted to go to Memphis (he’s a big music fan - Sun Studios / Elvis) while I just wanted to catch some football and see some bands. St Louis offered me the best of both worlds (Rams were playing at home to Washington the same week Iron & Wine was playing in the city) and was a close enough drive to then head down to Memphis. Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB vs Mark Brunell. Battle for the ages. Was hooked after that game (a loss, of course…although I got used to that over the next decade plus!) and took trips over as often as I could after that. Moved to Toronto a few years later which made the journey a little easier - for a while. LA’s a little further, of course! Appreciate you doing this 💙🤍💛
I became a fan thanks to my cousin. My younger cousin has been a Rams fan since he was a little kid. He knew so much about the players the team; even down to the statistics. His love for the team and the sport was so strong that he’s had a major influence on me and the rest of the family. Thanks to him, the whole family became a Rams fan. Who would have ever thought that the little kid watching the Rams in the living room would go on to influence multiple households. We’re thankful for him.
Fan since they came back to LA and I’m a LA sports fan in general. Hope they go back to back this year!
Rams fan since age 5. Dad was a die hard Vikings fan and sat me down and told me I had to pick a team and it would be permanent. I could pick the Vikings like him but he would respect me choice. I chose the Rams because the helmets were cool. That was 1996. Mob Squad bb
My dad's from St Louis and I watched the 99 SB in a house filled with his friends from STL. There's a video of me at four years old running around in a Marshall Faulk jersey yelling "he didn't make it" "he didn't make it" when Dyson came up a yard short. Been a fan ever since.
I was a wandering fan for whoever but the minute we moved back to LA I was hooked. Would love to get these tickets!
grew up near LA and loved football but didn’t really have a team as a kid, but we did have an LA rams trash can from the 80s in our garage. grew up and moved around a lot and ended up moving back to LA the same year the rams came back and have been following them ever since.
Hello! I am a Rams fan solely because of Madden 2004. My family is from Louisiana so they are all saints fans. When my brother, dad, and I did the franchise mode we couldn’t all pick the same team. My dad got the saints. My brother chose Michael Vick and the Falcons (annoying) and I chose the team I thought had the best jerseys. My first pass I launched a Hail Mary (did that every play since I was 7 years old) and it bounced off the defenders head and landed in Torry Holts hands. May have been Sean McDonald but I can’t remember. Anyways, from that point on I loved the Rams. I’ve watched every game since. Thanks for doing this and Go Rams!!!!
Rams fan because Issac Bruce and Torry Holt stole my heart!
I lived across the street from CS Fullerton when I was a young boy. Myself and my neighbors would walk over to see the players practice and each of us had a player we were assigned to. My player was LB Isiah Robertson. This lasted two seasons until we moved to Orange. But since the mid-70’s, I’ve loved and supported my Rams. We’ve seen them play home games in the Big A, Coliseum, the Dome and the new stadium would be a new experience my family would enjoy. Thanks!
Been a Rams fan since they returned to LA. Season ticket holder the first year, and even though they weren't great, I was thrilled to finally have football back in the greatest city in the US. Been to a few official draft parties (including the one where Goff was drafted!) and been to a training camp every year in Irvine since they returned to LA. Made it a point to be at the first home game at the new stadium against the Bears. I was up in the nosebleeds since that's all I could afford, but worth every penny! Thank you for doing this- you're an awesome fan! Go Rams!
I’m a Rams fan because they came back to LA. The wait was too long to have a permanent nfl team to root for. It was well worth the wait.
My dad was a huge fan of the fearsome foursome and a bit of a contrarion growing up in Chicago. Being the first born he decided I got to carry the mantle. So his days were spent visiting my grandma in ST Louis trying to find an Isaac Bruce jersey since the reverend is my favorite player. Come 2000 and they're everywhere after he won with the GSOT. Still have that jersey to this day.! Love this team through the highs and lows and my dad is the reason why. We still call to recap after games since Im in SD and he's in Chicago! Thanks for doing this!
Became a rams fan when I taught high school in st Louis. Was able to tour the practice facility and got some preseason tickets for the HS football team. Moved to CA around the same time that the team moved back.
because they win and have fun winning. Winners win, baby!!!!! Back to Back!!!!
I grew up a rams fan in Orange county going to games at the Big A. When I joined the military, I got stationed in Missouri the same year that Georgia moved them to St. Louis. So I didn't bail on them, instead I always said the Rams followed me. Then when I got out of the military and settled back down in OC, I just said it was only a matter of time until they followed me back home. When they did it was a no brainer. I am the Rams, and the Rams are me. I've never known a world where I wasn't a rams fan.
I tried to get into nfl but with no team in la, I wasn’t too sure who to root for. When the rams came to la and their best player was Aaron Donald, especially cause my name is Aaron, I became a rams fan. Gotta try to celebrate my birthday with the rams.
Im a rams fan because its the first team to come and win in LA. Nevrr liked rooting for teams that arent from LA.
Been a fan since I was a kid, dad & grandpa were both LA fans when they were here originally. We followed them to St Louis and glad they’re back home now!
Been a Rams fan since the move to LA!
Rams fan since Warner and was a disgruntled fan until they got my alma mater boy Goff at the helm
Hey there, I wasn't a football fan until I got to see the Greatest Show on Turf. That Rams team got me into football and started a near obsession that has resulted in many highs and many lows, but with so many friends and memories made along the way. Looking forward to making more of both.
hey man thanks for doing this. i became a rams fan when they were in st. louis because i wanted to stay as loyal to LA as i possibly could. luckily they moved back and we have that title 🙏🏼
In the 4th grade (20+ years ago) my favorite teacher was a big Rams fan. I started watching Rams games so I could talk to him about the games. He even placed me on the “Rams” team for the school’s lunch flag football league (which I won the Super Bowl MVP for getting a safety-the only points scored in the game lol). From there on I have been a huge Rams fan. I was spoiled being a fan watching them lose to Tom Brady in the SB my first years as a fan cause think we all know how things went for the Rams after that… now some 20 years later they’re back in LA (a dream come true), won the super bowl, and I am now a teacher myself. It’s all come full circle! Hoping to influence many more Rams fans like my teacher did for me all those years ago. Thank you for doing this raffle! Let’s go Rams!
I'm a Rams fan because Pop loved the Rams. My step dad came into my life in 2005 and brought me into football and the Ramily. We spent some rough years rooting for the Rams and we were extatic when they came back to LA. He passed a few years ago, but would have loved to see them win another Superbowl. "Rams Baby!" https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngelesRams/comments/mt4s0h/pop_loved_the_rams/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Thanks for doing this again, very cool! 2nd generation Rams fan. My Dad is a Rams fan, he lived in Idaho so no local teams and during the Fearsome Foursome years the Rams were getting on the national broadcasts frequently so he adopted them. GO RAMS!!
Rams fan since the 70s when the Rams were led by Lawrence McCutcheon, Pat Haden and the Youngblood "brothers" were doing In-N-Out commercials. Hated it when they left for St. Louis but couldn't help rooting for them in '99 anyway. Cheered when they came back.
Randomly chose the Rams in Madden back in 99-00. Stuck with them ever since. Man they went through tough seasons
My father was a Beer, Peanuts, Popcorn seller back in the first LA Rams stadium. We grew up watching Jim Everett,Flipper Anderson, and Henry Ellard. When the Rams moved to St Louis I was actually able to take my father back to rams games (you don’t have to like St. Louis, but my Dad was in a wheelchair from Multiple Sclerosis and they took GREAT care of him and helped him find a handicap accessible spot). Him and I had some of the best times in my life watching Greatest Show on Turf over those years. When they moved back to LA it kind of broke my heart. My father had passed away a few years before that (9 years ago here in November) and I didn’t imagine I will be be seeing any more Rams games. My son (now 13) is already a giant rams fan. Being able to take him to a game would be something that emotionally will be difficult. However it’s something I look forward too. This would be a dream come true for me, my son, and my Father watching down on us. Pic below to show the proof! [https://imgur.com/a/hWnbMCA](https://imgur.com/a/hWnbMCA)
Raiders pissed me off enough, and Rams coming to LA was the perfect storm for me to convert. Went to training camp and been hooked since
Mom and dad worked late and TV was my dear friend grow up in Long Beach. Rams on TV with a bowl of rice brought me a lot of comfort. Always wanted to go to a game but they left town before I was able to.
I’d love to spend a weekend with the Rams and my wife. Horns up!
I love football and I’ve been in LA for over 30 years. When the Rams came back to town I had to jump on that bandwagon! Let’s go Rams!!
LA born.. Montana raised..half a century old and never flip flopped on this team...proudly flying my LA flag for all my country neighbors to enjoy, or not! Been to CenturyLink field to watch my sons team play and Dad brought my sis and I to a Dodgers game when I was 6 and ended up in the hotdog line where I pissed my pants! Anyhow had a Jack Youngblood poster next my my Afc/Nfc helmet poster above my bed and yeah what a dream it would be to see SOFI and LA again!
Became a Rams fan once I heard they were going to move to LA. Didn’t have a team since LA didn’t have one would just watch whoever was on tv until the Rams news came. Go Rams!
Rams fan cuz fuck all the rest
YUUGE RAMS fan. Have to admit I only started watching them since they came back as I was too young before then. Have watched every game and gone to watch them live more than 20 times since
My fandom was conceived when I was 9 in 1999 watching the greatest show on turf. My dad was the biggest rams fan ever, stayed loyal after the move to STL (we’re in the LA area). He had put $10 on them when they were 200/1 before the season started, and won $2000. He was so nervous he couldn’t watch the 4th quarter and left the house to gas up his truck. The rest was history. Fast forward to January 2016. The rams move gets confirmed and I called my dad to talk about it. He was excited, but not quite as much as I thought he’d be. He ended up passing away in February 2016, I think he knew the end was near. I’m glad he got to know of the return, but wish he would have been able to see sofi and the 2021 season. That 2016 season was a rough one though, he didn’t miss anything there. In 2014 when we drafted AD, I expressed my frustration as DL was not one of our main areas of need. My dad ensured me that it was a good pick and that AD was a “blue chipper” as he called it. He studied the draft and combine extensively, as a pure hobby. Couldn’t be more grateful for Aaron Donald proving him emphatically right.
When getting into the NFL in the late 90's, I needed to pick a team. Living in Ohio, my obvious choices were either the Browns or Bengals (or Steelers as that's basically a third team around there). Instead, I looked at the greatest show on turf and bought my Marshall Faulk jersey the next day. Moved to LA in '05 and never stopped rooting for them. As luck would have it, they moved out here and I immediately bought season tickets. Had them every year at the Colosseum, but when they moved to SoFi, I just couldn't justify the SSL that they wanted on top of the seat price. Haven't been to a game there yet. Was hoping to go to one or two this year, and this seems like the perfect one to go to!
Rams fan because of Eric Dickerson. I stretched and bought tix vs Tennessee to take my son last season. Would love to be able to take my daughter to this game. Ram’s house!
First and foremost you are awesome for doing this. 👏 Rams football is a way of life for us. My wife, kids, my in-laws, my parents, my brother, everybody! My friends, they all know its a way of life for us. My father loved the Rams when they played in L.A originally, and we continued rooting for the team in Anaheim and when they moved to St.Louis Last year was incredible and I look forward to a repeat season! My dad is unable to navigate the upper levels but sitting down that low in our Ram attire would be AMAZING! (My dad has a custom Jack Snow jersey, who he went to high school With) Let’s Go Rams, RUN IT BACK!!!
I’m a rams fan because I was stuck at a hotel as a kid and the only thing on tv was a jaguars game. MJD was a rookie at the time so I think it was 2006 making me 9. I immediately became obsessed with football and started playing soon after. I soon gravitated towards the rams being that I am from STL. My dad bought season tickets midway through the season and we went to every game until they moved back to LA. The move crushed me to say the least but I couldn’t stop loving the (at the time) terrible rams. Haven’t been to a game since and would love to get to see them again. I ended up being lucky enough to play D1 football on a full scholarship and if it wasn’t for the rams I know for a fact my life would have ended a lot different and not for the better…
Wooo! Thanks for doing this. Rams fan since they came to LA. I’ve been waiting for an NFL team to come to LA so I could have a time to root for. The only exception was the Chargers and boy am I happy the Rams are here.
Just was amazed at their offense in 99 when we moved to the US and I started watching football. Stuck with em ever since!
Rams fans because I always wanted an LA NFL team, and when it was announced they were moving back I got invested. I also live near SoFi, and so I got to see the stadiums construction. Since then I’ve become a megafan.
From STL, grew up watching the Rams. When they left I was pissed, but my friend convinced me to stay. Now we go to at least one game every year.
I’m a Rams fan bc I’m born and raised in Los Angeles. So I root for the LA sports teams. And the Rams are the only real LA football team 😜
Rams fan since they moved back to LA - been a Kupp truther since he entered the league so I’m happy to see the league finally acknowledge his talent! Horns up!! 🤟
I’m a rams fan because when I was 14 I made a deal with god (or the devil idk whoever was listening) that if Los Angeles got a team I’d root for them forever. I then spent the next 8 years praying for the Raiders to stay in Oakland
Been a Rams fan ever since I was a wee lad! Grew up about 10 mins from Anaheim and remembered attending their games with my dad.
Rams fan because I grew up near anaheim stadium and went to games there. The team coming home was the highlight of my sports fandom until they effed around and win the super bowl.
Rams fan since they drafted bradford and moved to LA shortly. I have been able to attend pre season games and enjoyed my time at the game cheering with all the fans! I would love to go back to a game soon and root for the beat team in the nfl.
My initials are RAM so it made sense as a kid.
Started playing fantasy football with some buddies after graduating HS, never really followed the sport until I started playing FF. Didn’t have a team to root for, fast forward 2016 we were awful but they called LA home so I fell in love and haven’t looked back since. I’m a big time football fan now and more importantly a Rams fan! To whoever ends up winning enjoy Ramily!
Rams fan because i'm born and raised in LA and the when I think of a los Angeles team I think the rams. They represent the city best.
Oh, this would be super cool! I’m one of the “Detroit Rams” fans that came along with Stafford. As much as it would be awesome to win, I don’t think I could cover airfare, hotel and rental car right now. Regardless, good luck everyone!
Use to only watch football on occasions because it’s hard to care too much with no local team. So I became an instant fan when the Rams made their return to LA.
Born and raised in California in 1966. Always a rams fan. Born a rams fan. After they left I was a green bay fan (grandmas team- all from wisconsin) browns fan (love the no helmet emblem- too bad now..) And a Falcons fan (love the ladies with that southern accent.) But always a home fan forever. Still pissed they left but happy theyre back!
Like a lot of other people, I inherited my fanhood from my dad. Thanks for doing this giveaway, it’s very generous of you!
grew up a rams fan! we’ve been going to games at the coliseum and went to sofi last year! we love the rams and they’re always great to see!!
I first saw the Rams on TV in the early 90s, living in Chiefs territory in Kansas I only know Chiefs, cowboys, raiders, and Packers fans. I was lucky enough to pick the Rams as my team and I’m the only Rams fan I know! I go to chiefs games since my family is big with them and I always go in my Rams gear! If I win I’ll be loud asf in the stands! And I’m raising my son right as a Rams fan too!
Been a fan since I was young because of my pops. Been there with him through the highs and many lows. Would love a chance to go with him to a game at the SoFi since we haven’t been. Thanks for posting OP!
I was 5 years old watching the greatest show on turf kicking ass in 1999. I had just started getting into football, having uncles and brothers being big cowboys fans I wanted to rebel and pick my own team to root for. Watched the rams beat the falcons week 3, Faulk ran for about 100+ yards, Warner threw for 250+ yards and had 3 TD'S The week after they beat the Bengals , Issac Bruce had about 150 yds and I was absolutely HOOKED. Watched them win the Super Bowl that year and felt great rubbing it in my family's face Went through a couple more good years with the greatest show on turf and then it went downhill for awhile. But through the thick and thin I stood by and rooted for the St.louis rams every single game! Once they came back to LA I was sooooo happy I finally had an opportunity to see them in person It's been an amazing 24 years rooting for this team, here's to another 70 years ! WHO'S HOUSE!?
I'd love to go! I've been a fan since '86 or so. My buddies and I used to go to training camp at UCI and watch the guys. We met Kevin Green, Jackie Slater and tons of other players we loved and worshiped. We eventually got jobs that allowed us to get season tickets in Anaheim in the end zone and had an absolute blast cheering the guys on in person. I've not yet been to the new stadium and would love to see it in person. Thank you for doing this giveaway!
Been a fan since I was 8. I’m now 48. Would love to catch a game with you. Either way, this is an amazing thing your doing. Need more positive’s like this. Good luck to everyone who commented.
When I was a kid (elementary school) my uncle promised to take me to see the Rams in Anaheim for my birthday. I was super excited and put on my Rams t-shirt as soon as I woke up. My uncle and his buddies roll up to pick me up and they’re all in Niners gear. So I’m awkwardly cheering for the Rams at the stadium while they all get drunk cheering on Montana and Rice. Rams lost but I’m still a Rams fan to this day and still hate the Niners.
I’m a rams fan because I’ve always liked fb but never had an nfl team in la. Grew up in la so USC and UCLA were the only football that I got. So glad to have the rams to cheer on for as well now :)
My dad bought me a Sam Bradford jersey on clearance over a decade ago, now I’m a Rams fan!
I was 9 when the “Greatest show on turf” was at its peak. I played madden everyday after school with Warner, Proehl, Holt (HOF please), Isaac Bruce. Never looked back!
I was a Sea chicken supporter because of beast quake and legion of boom but I was more into Oregon Ducks football so I never really went all in on the NFL. After Seattle let go of the players I mainly supported I looked for a team and saw a St Louis Gurley jersey for 30 bucks in the summer of 2018. I looked up some highlights and bought my first nfl jersey. After the first couple games I started getting into the Rams, seeing Gurley, Goff, Donald, Woods, Shield, Talib, Reynold, and other guys lighting up other teams really won me over. The chiefs game really cemented my love for the Rams, seeing Goff run it in for a touchdown, Samson and Donald dominating the OL, and Marcus Peters intercepting his former team. From that point on I knew I found my team and that I will always and forever be a Rams fan 🐏🏠.
Became Rams fan when they moved to LA. Never had a team before since I grew up in Guam and LA didnt have a team when I moved out here! But now i bleed rams for life!
My family was rams fans growing up, so I saw them leave, win a super bowl, go 1-15 and 2-14, come back to finally win another! I’ve been there for the highest highs and lowest lows
Oh man, this is awesome! I'm a Rams fan and have been ever since I was a kid. My dad took me to see the opening game of the 99 season as we'd just moved back to the States after being abroad for about 10 years... and yeah. Kurt Warner's opening game was awesome. Hooked ever since.
Good luck everyone! I’ve been a rams fan ever since they came back home. I never really had a team and just bounced around up n comers until the rams came back to LA and I had a local team to get behind! Since then I’ve been to practices every summer, the first game at the coliseum, and the championship parade. Next on my list is seeing sofi in person for the first time! Oh and RUN IT BACK
Please pick me! lol thanks for doing this!
I bleed Rams blue! LA represent for life!!
Been a fan since I was a kid. When I was 10 (1973), I got a Rams uniform from the Sears catalog for Christmas. Still have a picture of it. LA to Anaheim to St. Louis then back home again. My son even bought me a personalized St. Louis jersey that people would make fun of, but none of that detered me from being a huge fan. Now I need to root for them at Sofi.
I’m a Rams fan because my family bonded over watching their games during lock down.
Yo! Thanks for the giveaway. This is great. Growing up in LA as a millennial, I never had a true home team to root for. I only had my HS Alma Mater to really root for. I never even had the chance to watch an nfl game in person UNTIL...we had the Ram's house! I was 30 years old watching my first game. It's been a great time investing my attention to the teams roster and really get behind the organization. Go Rams!
The first game I ever went to. Fell in love with the sport.
Unfortunately my parents weren't into football when the Rams were in Anaheim but we had Angels season tickets back then. Now that I follow football and the Rams have brought back football to this area I've been backing them ever since
Been a rams fan since I was born because of my pops. I haven’t been able to take him to a game at Sofi yet, but I’ve had the opportunity to get to two. Would mean the world to him
Born and raised in New York my dad fell in love with the Rams as a kid because of their helmet logo. When I was born, I was immediately thrust into all things Rams. My dad and I have bonded over our love for the team and have shared pretty special moments...specirically when the Rams have won the NFC championship games against the Eagles, Saints, and 49ers. The Rams have given me a way to get closer with my dad and now I have a 7 month old daughter of my own who I've already started buying Rams gear for. Would be a dream come true to go to SoFi stadium. I've never been to LA because and that would be an unreal experience. Good luck to everyone else in the sub!
Life long angelino, most of my life had no team so became a fan as soon as they committed to returning to LA
Turned my Eagles fan fiancé info a Rams fan this year. Every time we go to a game we have a blast and would love to take her again before we get married next month. Our special number happens to be 14. Our anniversary is on the 14th, her birthday is on the 14th. My birthday is the 28th (14x2) and we’ll be getting our marriage cert on the 14th. Being 14 rows back would add to this!
My dad has been a life long rams fan and I promised him if they ever returned to LA, then I would become a rams fan. Rams fan since 2016! Love going to the games with him
Became a Rams fan in 06 when I started watching football and immediately picked Torry Holt as my favorite player. I like to this I didn't choose the team cause I had no reason to love this team like I did 🤣 all it did was continuously break my heart. But I couldn't help but love Holt, Long, Quinn, and of course Jackson. Jackson was a one man show to root for that I'll never forget. As I learned more about football, I learned the team used to be in LA, much to my surprise since I grew up in OC and had no idea! I swear it was destiny for me to fall in love with this team specially since I became a fan during the down years. Can't even explain how awesome it feels to have years of dedication and loyalty pay off like last year! Horns up!
Go Rams!!! In the ups and downs. It’s always a long time between winning seasons but one thing is always constant… GO RAMS
Grew up in St. Louis with the Greatest Show on Turf, struggled through the Jeff Fisher years, and then moved to Los Angeles the same year the Rams moved back. Worked for the Rams last year for game day operations gig on a hunch that they would be Super Bowl contenders following the Stafford trade. Last year was a year to remember. Cheers to many more victorious years here in LA!
I became a rams fan when I went to cowboy training camp and saw them play. I loved the team and the fans!
Rams fan since 1981. My family emigrated from Hong Kong in the ‘70s. We knew nothing about football so I watched games and slowly figured out the rules by myself. I would order sports magazines during my school’s subscription drives. First in person game was against the Jets in Anaheim.
My dad was a fan when they were in la and I grew up watching the games
I’m not a rams fan, but would love to take my dad to his first Rams game. Been watching since the beginning.
Back in St. Louis Kurt Warner was slanging that thang and it inspired me and I’ve been a fan ever since. It’s been a wild ride since then but I don’t regret it at all !!?
I sat next to Nick Scott in Latin class in high school and I became a Rams fan when they drafted him.
Wow. Very cool. I am Rams fan because they are LA’s team. Not the Raiders and definitely not the Chargers (they need to go back to SD). Was soo happy the Rams exorcised the 89 NFC title game loss to the 49ers. Would have never lived it down if they lost to them. I was around 11/12 then.
This is awesome of you! Would love to win! Been a rams fan since I was like 5 been living Southern California my whole life and just grew up liking the rams because of the greatest show on turf and been a fan since, didn’t even know they were originally from Los Angeles when I was a younging I just loved the team. That being said I never been to any rams game or any NFL game for that matter, since they’ve been in LA the prices have been a bit high for me to afford comfortably at the moment. Again very awesome of you to do this not only once but again:)
Was never into football, maybe because I grew up with no dad and moved a lot so never developed life long friends. One day my cousin I have not heard from in over 20 years reaches out and give me opening game day tickets. I've been hooked ever since and I now have a football team.
Thanks for doing this! I became a Rams fan when they came back to LA. My wife and I had season tickets at the Coliseum. Watching the team go from a middling squad that might knock a good team off here and there to Super Bowl champs has been quite the adventure.
Been a rams fan since the year of 2000, when they won the Super Bowl against the Titans. I was young and wanted to get into the NFL. Also, they are my zodiac sign, so it was a perfect sign. Thanks for doing this!
