Rams sell all 70,000 season tickets for 1st season in L.A.
Los Angeles is ready for some football.
After 21 seasons without an NFL team, the return of the Rams has finally put a team back in the nation's second-largest media market. Despite the fact that construction on a new stadium will keep the team at the L.A. Coliseum for the first three years, 2016 season tickets have quickly sold out.
The Rams, according to a report from Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, have already sold all 70,000 season tickets that were made available for the 2016 campaign. The tickets were scooped up by about 24,000 fans, who had previously made deposits just six hours after the selling process began.
"To sell out of season tickets in the first six hours upon our return to Los Angeles is both humbling and a reminder of how excited Angelinos are about the return of the Rams and the NFL," Rams COO Kevin Demoff told Farmer. "As both Los Angeles’ first pro sports team and its newest sports team, the bond between this team and the community is evident and strengthening each day."
The Rams, according to Farmer's report, will begin selling single-game tickets this week.
Los Angeles will start the 2016 season on the road against the San Francisco 49ers, before opening at home against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2.
