First time seeing the Rams in person?

[Judge Doom]

Bored here on a Friday night haha, so just curious when everyone's first time seeing the Rams in person was? Of course could be in LA or St. Louis.

For me it was back in 2013 when the Rams came to Charlotte to play the Panthers. I had been going through some stuff in my personal life and to be completely honest, was not in a good place mentally. My girlfriend at the time was worried about me and did her best try to lift my spirits a bit; well she woke me up the morning of the game and told me to go into the living room and wait for her, she had a surprise for me and then went into the bathroom. Being a man, I thought it was something sex related of course haha. Anyway, she came out to the living room a few minutes later wearing a Rams t shirt I had gotten her and a Rams visor on also and said, 'Why are you just sitting there looking lost'? Go put on your Rams gear, tailgating starts soon.' Took me a minute for it to click, and when I did I jumped up, yelled in excitement, and gave her a huge kiss on the lips and a hug haha.

Tailgating was cool, even drinking piss water like Bud, and then went into the game. More Rams fans there than I thought their might be, and we were all upset after losing. But even with the L, a great day for me and lifted my spirits tremendously. As I said, she is an ex girlfriend now, but will always have a special place in my heart haha.

2018 for me. Planned our whole USA trip around the Rams Home opener against the Cardinals. Went with my son and had a wonderful day mixing with fellow Rams fans sitting next to us.

Planning on a SoFi trip next.

2018. My daughter and I flew down from Portland, to see the Rams/Seahawks in November.

I thought the stadium was, well, a college stadium (before it was upgraded lately). Nevertheless the experience was wonderful. Mid-November in the Pacific Northwet pretty much sucks - so, as I recall upper 70's/low 80's - and a good game - that day was pretty much perfect.

The Rams won, killing a game ending drive by Wussell. Goff put up over 300 yards and Gurly over 100. The low point was unfortunately, Kupp got injured that game.

Nov 9, 1958. 49ers vs Rams @LA Colosseum. Billy Wade threw 4 tds and Rams won 56-7. Attendance was 103, 234, a record that stood over 50 years and I was there with my Dad and my uncle, one of my fondest memories.

 

[VegasRam]

Damn Bubba - mine was in December 1958.
Wade v Unitas.
I do not remember the score, but I know we won.

How the hell old are you?

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

MNF 1987 at RFK stadium in DC. RB Charles White and our mighty OL beat the eventual SB champs. Leroy Irvin int in the end zone to close it. Sat right behind Henry Ellard’s (was still a Ram at this point) parents. We were loud and made the Rams know we were there.

 

[Ramlock]

In St. Louis, 1998 vs. Carolina.

Lost 20-13

Steve Bono, June Henley and Amp Lee
2 picks, 2 fumbles

Defense played well enough to win.

Kurt Warner played the following week against the Whiners.

Took my 11 year old son…everything but a win!

October 1988 at Anaheim Stadium vs. the Seahawks. I was just getting out of the Navy, stationed at Pearl Harbor. My car was shipped to what was then known as San Francisco (now Scat Francisco), but I decided to take a detour and make a pilgrimage to see the Rams live for the first time. They didn't disappoint. Jim Everett threw for over 300 yards and 3 TDs (Aaron Cox, Robert Delpino, and Damone Johnson) while Greg Bell rushed for another. Kelly Stouffer was the starting QB for the Seahawks and got fucking clobbered by the Rams D. The only points their O mustered were a FG, while their special teams did manage to block a FG attempt and run it back for a TD. But that was it, 31-10 was a final. I flew out of LAX later that evening, up to SF, got my car and began a trek across the country. It was a great day.

For me it was back in 2013 when the Rams came to Charlotte to play the Panthers.

My 2nd and 3rd times were against the Panthers. I went to college in Charlotte at UNCC, last year was 1995, the Panthers first year in the league when they played at Death Valley (Clemson). A friend of mine and I drove down and saw that game, and the Rams took care of business pretty easily.

The 3rd time was in 2001, by which time I had moved away from Charlotte, but still had family there. Flew back for the holidays and my sister had gotten tickets right behind the Rams bench and I got to watch the GSOT in action. The Panthers were in the midst of a terrible season, but played the Rams surprisingly tough that day. But Marshall Faulk ran fucking wild, including a 70 yard TD, and the Rams 38 points (if I remember right) were just too much for the Panthers to overcome.

December 16, 1973 at the Loc Angeles Memorial Coliseum
Rams 30
Browns 17
It was a cool day and I remember the man wearing a beautiful cashmere sweater
in front of me, while I ate a dripping chocolate ice cream cone.... lol

Rams easily won this game, finishing the regular season 12-2, only to lose to @den-the-coach favorite team, the Dallas Cowgirls the very next week. One and done.

Mine was a pre-season game at Wembley Stadium in 1987. The aforementioned Charles White scored a late touchdown as we beat the Broncos 28-27.

2014, St Louis, Cowboys @ Rams.

Was the only home game while we visited the USA so like @Ramrocket we planned the trip around that game.

I will forever be grateful to Austin Davis for playing a heck of a game and almost getting the win for the Rams. Brian Quick 50 yard td and jj pick 6 happened right in front of us. Great game until it all fell apart.

The kids had a great time.

Oh, and Jared Cook....

 

[ScotsRam]

First game was Rams first London game vs Patriots. Sam Bradford threw a 50 yard BOMB on the first drive - 7-0 Rams and me and my dad and two friends were going mental.

Final score- Rams 7 - 48 Patriots

Still a great day out!

Have since seen wins vs Raiders in Oakland and vs Bengals and Cardinals in London. I have a 3-1 record!

 

[ScotsRam]

Ah fuck - I forgot a drab 17-10 loss to the Giants in London as well. To be fair that was a forgettable game.

3-2 record. I'll still take it.

I was at that Patriots game. Went downhill rapidly after the early TD.

Are you kidding?

@Loyal was there when the wheel was invented.

In fact, he commented that ‘it would never work’.

 

[Fatboy]

1966 in the coliseum against the Packers ( I think we lost) My Dad got some free tickets from one of the cement companies he dealt with. I've been hooked on the horns ever since ! --- the Fatboy

 

[AvengerRam]

1983 against Miami. Marino took us apart.

2004... St. Louis Rams and at the 49ers. My cousin bought a couple of tickets for us as a thank you for letting him and his family stay with us while they were waiting for their house to be ready to move into. When Marshall Faulk came out to warm up before the game I started yelling his name hoping he would notice me, and he did, he came over. Over asked how I was doing it, thanked me for coming out, and gave me a high five. I felt like a kid getting his first bike for Christmas. I got to see Isaac Bruce go for over 100 yards, Marshall Faulk run for over 100 yd since court touchdown. When Mark Bulger got on the field I remember thinking, damn he's tall!! I don't remember how tall he actually is, but I do remember it looked as if he towered over everyone else. Great game, Rams won!
