It was really rough being there. 9er fans outnumbered Rams fans at least 2-1, they got loud when we were at the LOS and Rams fans were loud while 9ers were in the huddle, but quiet once the 9ers got to the LOS. My biggest complaint with the gameday staff is that they dont know when to pump up the crowd to get loud. Or they put a celebrity on the infinity screen when the Rams have the ball and the crowd erupts making it hard for our O to communicate.
 
They did that to us in 2014, and the Eagles this year. I believe, and I could be wrong, they plan a "takeover" once or twice a year. I just pray it's not like that at our stadium this Sunday for the playoff game. That would fucking SUCK.


I don't mean this as snark at all, being serious because I don't know...

The Cowboys have the biggest fan base....so how could something like that happen??

I'm doing my part and I'll be there sporting my Rams gear dammit!

Good question.
1. The Metroplex is the biggest transplant area in the nation (or at least top 5), so a TON of those fans are actually local. You can find sports bars that host watch parties for almost any team here.

2. A TON of our ST-holders are are corporations, so they either sell their tickets, or attend the game to be seen. No disrespect, but I bet LA is the same in that regard. This is why our homefield advantage is almost non-existent.

3. The stadium itself is a destination spot, and not a hostile environment at all (as long as you don't act stupid, but that's any stadium).

I have ST's, and could make TRIPLE what I paid, but I am going and doing my part. I just hope we win.
 
Over 300$ for a nosebleed seat, 60$ to park, 17$ a beer and 12$ for a hotdog and ya'all wonder why the stadium isn't full? Those are all good reasons I'll never go.
I was so excited to get season tickets when they announced they were coming back to LA. When I bought them, I couldn't believe how expensive they were and how BIG the stadium was. If you want to build a new fan base, make a 50K stadium and make the list price cheap and make your money on concessions and TV contract.

I knew right away it was going to be a hard sell, which means other teams' fans are in our stands. Sucks but greed kills sometimes...

what really pisses me off is the fact that the Rams were blasting social media with the #blueout and if I am correct they were giving out royal blue t-shirts to the fans at the gate

I'm in the same camp, wanted to go this year but it's too much when you add it all up. 150 dollars for a tiny tailgate parking spot is outrageous.
 
Yes @ 100k lots of seats are corporate owned. In fact when you look at the secondary market you can deduct that some of these corps own 20-30 linked seats it is crazy.
L.A is #2 behind NY as a melting pot and Dallas is top 10 so there are similarities. It is business for many especially in cities that entertain large national and international business affairs of all types.
Let's face it you go to Green Bay to see a game not advance your career or make a business deal at least as a generalization
