when people make the BS claim that LA has fair weather football fans that I then take issue with. as i said,LA only lost ONE team,the Rams.The chargers dont count since they were there only one year and THEIR reason for leaving was again,they could not compete with the Rams in atteandance despite having an excellent record of 8-4 and making it to the divisional round playoffs just averaging crowds of just 10,000 or so. where the RAMS on the other hand,despite having a losing season that year going just 4-8,had crowds as high as 77,000. That right there debunks the MYTH that LA has fair weather football fans.
and as I just got done saying,LA lost just one team theRams.LA never wanted the raiders there in the first place as i just proved with the fact that even though their last year in oakland,they had come off winning a superbowl there,the first home game there in LA only drew a half empty stadium crowd of just over 42,000.
This comment made by Al Michaels also debunks the myth that LA is not a football town.He used to be a broadcaster for Ram games out there in LA so he knows what he is talking about more than any of us do.

Also as I said,contrary to what Raider fans in LA like to believe,the Raiders were never embraced in LA either.The year they won the superbowl out there in LA,the very next year for their home opener,they only drew a small half empty stadium crowd of just over 42,000.lol
meanwhile the Rams that same year for their home opener,had a standing room only crowd of over 65,000.
the OAKLAND Raiders might have won a superbowl out there in LA but nobody in LA cared.
Well looks like LA doesnt is a fair weather football town. a team that has had 13 straight losing seasons but yet look at this crowd.
I dont ever recall st louis having large sellout crowds like this.
still more interesting information.
Attendance Records Are Nothing New for the Los Angeles Rams
WOW this is now? That is awesome. Not looking fair weather to me at all!
They are new to LA. It is trendy, if they don't win, the fans won't stay. Last time they were in town they had 4 or 5 straight losing seasons and the attendance was terrible. You have to be relevant to be in LA.
