Yes....thats the advertising roof. They can advertise most anything on it, and it will be the first thing people see when getting ready to Land at LAX.the hell with all the Kroenke crap did anyone else notice in the aerial shot at the beginning that the top of the dome is the shape of the RAMS Logo?
Now that is effing cool.
That video is so smart. The focus for the Rams isn't on old farts llike me...It's not even on the "lost generation"..It's on the kids that now have tjheir own NFL team in Los Angeles/SoCal. It's about taking that trip to the fabled Los Angeles we think of..Go to the Walk of Stars on Hollywood Blvd and Graumans Chinese Theater. Go see Rodeo Dr in Beverly Hills. Go to the Santa Monica Pier. Go to Disneyland, and sure as heck go to the other Disneyland, the Inglewood Stadium/NFL Dreamland.......
Whats funny is that the Rams Organization saw the original "Coming Home" (with Bradford and Clemmens), and used the same idea in promioting the return of the Rams..lol..THIEVES!)
Yep, and if you notice in the beginning, they're over in Asia and then take a trip out to LA. He wants to make the Rams an international brand, like the Yankees, Dodgers, Lakers, Cowboys, etc.
They had Joe Banner on Mike & Mike, the former Eagles president. He actually said from a finannicial standpoint, when you consider the amount of money he is paying out of his pocket to the NFL for a relocation fee (over 500 million), paying the complete bill for the LA stadium project (up to 2 billion) which will include some loans, that he would do nearly as well from a bottom line perspective of staying in Stl and getting a stadium built where he would not contribute a significant amount.
Not grumpy at all and his comment doesn't bother me I find it funny. These constant little jabs at the owner and LA remind me of an article written a couple decades ago by St Louis' own Bernie Miklasz.Not sure why his comment bothers you. Half the comments by anyone here are redundant... that's never been an issue before.
Kroenkes(and the NFL) vision is only about making lots of money. Considering recent events, it's kind of a topical issue.
He doesn't care about LA fans, tradition, "coming home" or any of that.
If myself and other fans are going to be subjected to constant reminders of his "vision", don't get all grumpy when we remind you of our reality.
The Rams are vanished, headed to the Midwest, and in Southern California they are in the early throes of a hot-blooded tantrum. Some rather vitriolic analysis is coming over the transom as angry journalists and bitter team boosters accuse the Rams of treason and other high crimes.
Georgia Frontiere is being cast as some sort of football version of Ma Barker - a sinister character who hijacked a Brinks truck and singlehandedly caused Orange County to go bankrupt. The woman with a team and no conscience.
I gather that they will not be throwing Georgia a farewell soiree in LA. In Orange County, she is is about as popular as a liberal Democrat pushing a tax increase.
And you know what? I don't care what these people say.
I don't care what Georgia Frontiere did, or did not do, in Orange County - though the record shows that she has owned this franchise for 16 seasons, and it has made the playoffs in eight of those years.
The first day of the rest Frontiere's life began on a glorious Tuesday afternoon in downtown St. Louis, in a jammed, jubilant convention center room that's a long Jerome Bettis touchdown gallop from the rising stadium.
Sorry, this is our party, we deserved it, and sore losers are not invited. We lost a football team seven years ago, and no one felt sorry for St. Louis. As we had our little revival meeting Tuesday, we easily could disregard the caterwauling from the land of milk, honey and dangerous, high-risk investment strategies made by irresponsible government officials.
Orange County defaulted on its team. Get over it. We hear that Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland is lovely this time of the year.
As for the Rams and Frontiere, I care only about what happens from this day forward. The Los Angeles Rams are dead. The St. Louis Rams are alive.
This city has been assailed for its alleged indifference for football. Frontiere has been condemned for her alleged indifference for the Rams.
Today, we both start over.
We will judge Frontiere and on how she handles this franchise, this city, and our trust, when the Rams kick off in 1995. …
They seem to be a lot more engaging on social media since the move. Even before today's ticket campaign.
Only thing I ask of Stan K is to make a yearly playoff team and not replicate Jurrah's Cowboys. Popular but shoved down our throats witht a 142-142 record.
I got one of those for Christmas back in 67. Blue and whites with cheesy lint pads. But I loved it.The beginning of my fandom centered around my intense desire, as a four year old in 1971, to get a complete Rams uniform(with helmet) for Christmas. I got it and the rest is history.

FTFY
Enough already.
The one I got was a full uniform with pads and helmet. I promptly went out to my stucco wall and rammed the helmet into the wall so it would look like the real thing. I have to admit to sleeping in it more than once. But I was five so...For me it was 1973 being 7 years of age and getting Ram Pajamas from the sears catalog including robe...In fact, that the last time I remember ever donning pajamas.
I'm getting tired of the cheap shots at Stan and KD. I get that the St Louis fans are pissed. I don't blame them. But we are not going to let it slide no matter how much we can empathize.Thank you. You apparently got to him before I could rebut his post, as it and he quickly dissolved into the ether ...
I like the Barry Redden sighting at the beginning
The Coliseum has grass right?
So we play 3 years in grass then go back to turf?
* I had this hat as a kid - wish is still had it, but like all my other prized possessions my mom threw them away during Spring cleaning booooooo
