SFGATE columnist Rod Benson, who's lived in the bay and now, LA, assesses the state of Rams fandom.
As soon as the Los Angeles Rams clinched a spot in the NFC championship game, the text messages started flooding in.-Rams. They’re going all out: nice hotels, daytime parties on Saturday, legit seats at SoFi Stadium on Sunday. These folks seriously care about their team and this game, and many already traveled to Dallas and Green Bay over the last few weeks. Their energy for the Niners is that of most NFL fan bases: manic.
So the question is, why? Why don’t LA sports fans seem to care as much as other NFL fan bases? Why does SoFi Stadium try to limit ticket sales to the Greater Los Angeles region,? Why do we love the Dodgers and Lakers and a competitive USC team more than we love our very good pro football team? Outside of Inglewood, it’s an uphill battle convincing longtime residents to support a franchise that relocated here in 2016. The Rams, but it’s unclear how many people in LA are really, truly invested in the team. I spoke to a guy just yesterday who said he was excited about the game, which surprised me. I asked if he was a big Rams fan, and he responded, “No, but I’m from LA so I root for them when they’re on.
