It’s because Southern California is full of transplants, or it’s the entertainment capital, or we need championships to show up, or………..

You didn’t know this Mike…………..

[Ramsfan08ny]

I don't know all of the elements, but I can confidently say that those God awful uniforms do not help one bit.

[Utah Rams Fan]

It’s simply a matter of demographics. What age, sex and race make up the majority of Rams’ fans? Particularly the long time die hard Rams fans who would fill the Coliseum to capacity every game. Where are they now?

Answer…..They no longer live in California. They have moved to states like Texas, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Florida. I shouldn’t have to go into detail of why they have left and continue to leave in droves.

That leaves corporations who buy up the season tickets, then give them as incentives to customers, clients and employees, who are casual fans, if at all. They will also sell them for a profit to the opposing teams’ fans. The rest are casual fans who buy the cheap seats for the sake of tailgating and getting drunk.

Sure, there are still great fans, like us (I moved to Utah), who attend games, but they certainly are not the majority.

[NorCal RF]

I wonder if there would be more Rams in attendance in general if the Chargers had remained in SD.

Hope it’s not all red again Monday.

That is a no!

[NorCal RF]

You guys are getting way too worked up about this, especially Brooklyn

Actually no we are not. That was bleeping embarrassing yesterday…………

Guess what is being talked about up here today? They are laughing and mocking the fan base down there and rightfully so…………..

That is not what was being said by that population 7 years ago when they thought the team could return…………

So they all moved in the last 7 years or did they flat out lie. I’ll bet the later…………..

[NorCal RF]

I do hope the Brook took his heart medications today. 8-)

Its fitting that 2 locals dont see this as a problem.

Its exactly why our Stadium gets overrun.

Exactly!

[1945Rams]

They are in the he same State.
Not a surprise.
Even when rams were in missouri,, there were still more Chiefs fans.
But the Rams do have a national fan base like the Packers or giants or bears or Raiders.

[D-GenerationX]

Just curious SoCal, were YOU getting "too worked up" about removing Jared Goff at Quarterback last season?

Hahahaha

Depends on what part of Missouri. I lived in missoura and I'm originally from STL. STL area were definitely Rams fans before the move and kc area were Chiefs fans. Hell, in Brookfield, mussoura, there's nothing but Chiefs fans.

The baby boomers have come to retirement age and are fleeing California by the thousands every month. The other old die hards are fed up with California and are leaving as well. Yes, it’s been going on now for the last 5 years or so. Just look at our site here. How many of you die hards live out of state? The coliseum was once a packed house of 100,000 fans. Now of if 20,000 die hard s show up, that’s a lot. The rest are just drunken fools and fans of the other team who scored great seats from a corporate season ticket holder.

[NorCal RF]

Just curious SoCal, were YOU getting "too worked up" about removing Jared Goff at Quarterback last season?

I want to discuss players and coaches on my team. Not getting worked up over the color jerseys in the stadium. Niners have way more fans than us in the state. They'll always draw a ton of fans in our own stadium.

Rams have sold a ton of season tickets. People want to get top dollar resale value for it, that's up to them. Not going to upset me.

Sorry then those are “fans” this team doesn’t need………..

And same will half of the other teams in the NFL in regards to “ fans in our own stadium”. It always the Cowboys have more fans, the Packers have more fans, the Bears have more fans, yada yada yada in our state……………

Damn sad and it’s not the message that SoCal sent 7 years ago………..

But hey who cares. Hey Stafford continue practicing that silent count because you will continue to need it for home games……………….

[NorCal RF]

Ahh so we can only discuss what you approve?

Why am I not shocked

When did I say that, I said personally I'm not not getting worked up over opposing fans in the stadium. It's a topic that has been discussed ad nauseum since 2016. Rams and Chargers will have to deal with it.

The problem is we all should be worked up about it. It’s mind boggling some can’t see this if one is really a fan of this team…………..

This isn’t 2016. This team just didn’t arrive on this latest relocation. The prior “ 20 years comment prior to 2016 ” not necessarily by you but by all who state such, is just garbage sorry……………..

[Commish]

The Rams will have a great home crowd on Monday and they will beat AZ handily and all will be fine.

The golden state is filled with niner fans and that game in LA is thier chance to see em if you live in socal. I agree it was bad but theres no real fix to the problem. It's nothing new.

Why should Rams fans wish to attend a game in which there's a 95% chance that our team will 'fold like a cheap suit'?

Until the Good Guys decide to play hard, seriously trying to win vs. the 49ers, they should expect their fans to 'opt out' of watching them being humiliatingly defeated... :( :cry: :x

Sorry again with the population that is in Southern California, the current population, and those who state they are a fan of this team, there is enough people to fill that stadium with Rams fans 100 times over. And ticket prices isn’t the issue……………

The issue is they say they give a damn about this team but then show it by doing everything other than showing up for home games…………….

And yes I acknowledge there is a certain % that is there every Sunday or when they can’t go they make damn sure they go to another Ram fan………………

Most of the fans you are referring to are casual “fans” at best. They are the type that walk into a room where the Super Bowl is on and they ask, “Who’s playing?”

The fans who filled the coliseum to capacity in the 70’s no longer live in Calif.

[harkin]

It’s not rocket science.

The Rams in LA from the late 60s into the 80s were a very good team, at times great, but they always choked in the playoffs. Anyone who was there at the time knows many Ram fans who gave up on them.

Not many people remember this but there also were many Laker fans who gave up on them after 69, one of the most painful championship losses in LA history.

But the Lakers got their groove with Wilt and finally got over. Then Kareem and Magic brought Showtime and Bird brought the great rivalry (where the Lakers came out ahead, head-to-head championship-wise) and LA fans have never looked back.

So strike one is that the Rams never got over, no rings, well not since the early 50s, when almost every Ram fan now was not born.

Then the wicked witch stole the team from Steve and moved them to the Big A. That wasn’t a big enough slap in the face to remaining Ram fans (raises hand) so she moved them to Missouri. If you don’t understand what that knife in the back did to the SoCal fan base then I don’t know what to tell you.

The Rams have a lot of rebuilding to do in this town to build a solid, loyal fan base. McVay has them winning again but in the biggest game of his Ram career he crapped the bed. Even though the Rams were runner-up, that SB loss did a monumental bit of damage to growing the fan base for the Rams return to LA.

Only winning big will cure the crowd support problem

[NorCal RF]

Okay. So an NFL team not gaining Home Field Advantage is just fine and dandy with you, got it. As close as that game was, it can be ARGUED, that crowd advantage tipped the scales to San Francisco. We lost the 2 seed because Ram fans cant be bothered to support the team. More important to get "resale value." Got it. Boy, this really bodes well for us going forward.

The Nomad Rams.

Boy do I miss the old dark, dank, dungeon of St. Louie...

Were the opposing fans a factor when we were up 17-0 or only in the second half? Just checking. The HFA isn't as big a deal anymore unless you're GB with the weather. Go look at the number of home losses the playoff teams had in both leagues. 8/14 had at least 3 home losses. A few with 4.

78 seriously you are better than this………….

Your argument is starting to get a bit embarrassing…………..

HFA not as big of a deal anymore? Really!

What I do know is you don’t see yesterday from a home fan base what we saw yesterday with a 12-4 team. Ask me where those other playoff teams home fans would have been if their team had what this team had on the line yesterday. You are treating yesterday like it was week 3 with 14 more games on the schedule…………..

[harkin]

78 seriously you are better than this………….

Your argument is starting to get a bit embarrassing…………..

78 you actually make good points, it was the same crowd when the Rams went up 17 as it was when McVay started making crap decisions and the defense stopped making plays.

[NorCal RF]

Exactly!

You two are killing me today. Goodness...

You really think we like to see seas of red? What is wrong w you two today.

When did we ever say this wasnt a problem?

Our stadium gets overrun because for 20 years there was NO football team and PLUS when the Rams left, they sure upset a lot of people in how they did it.

NorCal asked what could possibly be done, and I gave some observations. That is it. Now I have no problem with it?

Sorry, we're lousy fans. We suck. Move to the team to Brooklyn.

Then not targeted to you my friend, but why were you all not there yesterday if you too don’t like seeing “seas of red”………….

Again let me be very clear I know your dad is down with COVID and you have a little one so again not talking about you………..

Sorry but again 20 years of no football is not a high % of current residents who are stilled bleeped off about them leaving then. I just don’t buy it……………….

The fans who filled the coliseum to capacity in the 70’s no longer live in Calif.

They sure didn’t state they were “casual” fans 7 years ago when they thought they could get this team back……….

And that was what 2015 not 1975………………..

Rams are a playoff team. If fans can't support a playoff team who will they support? When Stan was working on the move back to LA, LA fans should have said they only support the Rams the years they win the SB. I thought fans said they stopped attending bc the rams wasn't having winning seasons. Which lead to the move to STL.

The eagles didn't win a SB until just recently and their fans supported their team throughout the decades bc they were in the playoff hunt. The niners fans all showed up and the last Niners SB was prior to the Rams.

[NorCal RF]

78 you actually make good points, it was the same crowd when the Rams went up 17 as it was when McVay started making crap decisions and the defense stopped making plays.

So it's no problem then. No, its actually a good thing, that the opposing teams fans dominate in OUR building. Thanks for the education guys.

it’s was a jab at me. harkin n I are disagreeing a lot right now…………….

Again my friend it has nothing to do with effort and our team wanting it less………

I know you and harkin disagree with me and that’s fine…………….

This team under McVay, including this year, have done plenty to expend the fans base effort and money, even with what they have done head to head with the Niners…………….

And I know you know this but are just beyond bleeped with how they have played against SF. I get it but it’s blinding you a bit………………

The poor Sofi attendance is a function of 21 years of LA Rams neglect and abuse to fans here in Socal.

Now, 25 years later, Socal has homies from ALL 32 friggin teams.

When I was a kin in the early 60s, LA belonged to the Rams, Lakers, and Dodgers. Those days are gone.

Rams need to rebuild a fanbase which can take 10 or more years. At least the rams dropping to 4 means very little, the rams dont have much of a home field advantage anyway.
