so much for the myth that so many here have fallen for over the years that LA is not a pro football town and is a fair weather football town as well

Rams set U.S. preseason attendance record in L.A.
Lets see,the Rams have had like 13 straight losing seasons in a row yet they set an attendance record in the US for the largest crowd in pre season history last night.
These fellow LA Ram fans I know out there in hollywood hit the nail right on the head with their comments below.
Funny, LA wasn't supposed to care about football... Yet we're about to have 91,000 people at a pre-season game (me included!). Pre-season! Can't wait until Saturday. The stadium better be loud!
St. Louis never showed this type of love for our rams the whole 21 years they was there but yet people from St. Louis want to say bitter shit. **** St. Louis our rams are back home where they should have been all alone
Lol by October you will be lucky if 2,000 show up
If you were talking about the Raiders and THEY had moved back to LA,then you WOULD be correct but we are not talking about the Raiders so better retract that or you will look as stupid as Antiquity has the past two years INSISTING they were never coming back even though the facts showed it was so obvious that even a CHILD could have seen it coming.
That is the biggest BS lie that has been spread over the years that LA is not a football town. it is just not a CHARGERS or RAIDERS football town.THAT is correct.However they have always had a passionate fanbase in LA for the Rams.
The majority of the time they were in LA,they were always in the top five in league attendance.That doesnt sound like a fair weather football town to me.

I proved that in the past,i can do so as well if you like?
Here is the proof that they have passion for the Rams but they never cared about the Raiders there even when they were a great team.
The first year the Raiders were in LA,they were coming off winning a superbowl,their final season in Oakland.. Guess how large the crowd was that attended their first game in LA? Just a little over 42,000.
The year the Raiders won a superbowl out there on LA,guess what the attendance was the very next year for their home opener? just a little over 44,000.
That same year for the Rams home opener though,they had a standing room only sellout crowd of over 65,000.
The Oakland Raiders might have won a superbowl out there in LA but clearly,nobody in LA cared.


They did not care because LA is and has always been Ram country.
Here are other facts that debunk the BS propaganda that they are a fair weather football town.
I have evidence that refutes the myth that LA is a fair weather sports town.
The Chargers their first year in the NFL,they played in LA but matter of fact had to move to san diego after spending one year in LA because they could not compete with the Rams in attendance.
The chargers despite having a 8-4 record and making to the divisional round playoffs that year,only averaged crowds of around 10,000 or so with the highest being around 20,000.
The Rams on the other hand that same year,even though they they had a losing season that same year going 4-8, their average season attendance that year had crowds as high as 63 to 77,000 which was ABOVE THE AVERAGE NFL crowd attendance.
Like I said,they were almost always in the top 5 in league attendance the majority of their time in LA.their lowest crowd turnouts they had that yearwhen the chargers were in LA and the chargers were great and the Rams were TERRIBLE, were around 55,000 which back THEN was the average for most other teams around the country.
So much for the MYTH that LA does not support winners in football.
