How many games into this season before a sharp decline in attendance at Rams games?

How many games into this season before a sharp decline in attendance at Rams games?

Depends on how good the offense will be. If the Rams are the same as last season (highly likely with Fisher) people will get bored of the team real quick.

If the Rams don't make the playoff's, I would bet Fisher is fired, maybe Snead as well.

As of now, the top 3 fan bases that are really out to get the Rams are St. Louis fans, LA Raider fans, and Niner fans.

1) St. Louis fans: can't really blame them for being bitter and wishing the team would lose every game.

2) LA Raider fans: I had to be specific and say "LA." Raider fans in LA are just envious of Rams fans that their team is actually an LA team while they're still rooting for a Bay Area team so they'll just hate on the Rams for that reason.

3) Niner fans: I guess it's natural since it's LA-SF. But I haven't felt the rivalry yet and both teams being projected to have sub-.500 records isn't gonna help (and probably for a couple of more years).

I'm sorry, but I just can't get myself to be a Rams fan. I tried, but its just not meant to be. I shouldn't have to force myself to be a fan of a team just because they're in LA now. I really do hope the Rams succeed here in LA, but I'm going to sit around and hope that the silver and black comes back.

I'm more concerned with the violence in the stands. Already videos surfacing of all out brawls at the first game. People from suburbia will not bring their families to the Coliseum, a place that was notorious for fan violence 20 + years ago and it will be worse now unless the place is crawling with police. Just not a good environment. Then factor in a team nobody wanted that has already left and they are not a good football team. People don't support losing teams here, I'm thinking this thing falls apart quickly and this is just an observation, I don't care one way or the other about the Rams.

Same with me, especially when the Rams did not introduce me to the NFL. The NFC Holy Trinity of the Cowboys, 49ers, and Packers did introduce me so.

On the AFC side, the only reason why I jumped into the Steelers bandwagon in 2005 was because of Tommy Maddox.

If it does fall apart, the hype will build back up once the new stadium is built. Hopefully they share it with the Raiders.

I do like that the Rams are in the NFC. That's probably the only thing that I got myself to like about them. Oh, and Todd Gurley of course.

**** THE STEELERS.

I'm still a 49ers fan, but if the 49ers win more than 3 games this season I'll be shocked. I don't dislike the Rams though and am kinda excited about them being local again. So maybe make them a 1b.. but still pull for the 49ers against them.

I think you're overreacting. It's the same area where rich white people send their kids to school. Did the suburban fans refuse to support the Kings because they were based in the 'hood?

Well, you gave it one preseason game. We can't say you didn't try.

For the first 15 years after the Rams left, I would say I would welcome any team to L.A. except the Raiders. Well, since then I amended my stance that I would even welcome the Raiders. Bring in ANYONE - and it worked out great for me in that the Rams finally came back.

No football for 20+ years was just too boring.

Hey, Hockey Gangsta, 7-3, Packers.

20-12, Packers. Final.

Newsflash: this is my mood right now, pertaining to the NFL, NHL, and NBA season, as of this post.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I like how we went from a meme of the guy who brought the hip hop culture to the NBA to a meme of one of the whitest shows in television history.

 

[kingsfan28]

I know its preseason , but Nick Foles never played this good as a Ram.

 

[ADifferentTim]

Is it just I, or I find the NL West more exciting (read: at the level of the AL East) should all three NL West California teams compete?

 

[Vamos Rafa]

No, it's only exciting if the Dodgers are running away with the lead. Anyone who disagrees with that is clueless.

Dodgers player gets injured ordering room service.

Another vicious brawl in the stands of the Rams game goes viral. What comes first? Rams home win or a death in the stands?

That was all on the Chiefs fan.

 

[ADifferentTim]

Hmm, just checked the Rams' schedule and saw they'll host ATL, CAR, BUF, & MIA; the entire NFC West is facing the NFC South and AFC East this year.

Rams home win

Brawls are fun. Stop being so soft.

Too bad the Rams will be on the road at Oakland and at Denver in 2018, according to FBSchedules.com.

http://www.fbschedules.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams.php

Paging HockeyGangsta, Rams will visit Pittsburgh in 3 years.

Looking at the 2018 NFL Schedule, the one I am most interested at would be vs 49ers and vs Packers. Too bad the Rams get to host the 2 less intense teams of the AFC West in the Chargers and the Chiefs.
