They keep saying the Rams are the "designated" team. Gotta assume that means home team but why not say that?

The NFL's first-ever regular season game in Australia will be played at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in 2026, with the Los Angeles Rams as the designated team.

The Rams' opponent, along with game date and kickoff time, will be announced at a later date.

Kind of shocked at plane tickets for LAX to Melbourne. If you want to suck it up and connect through Sydney I'm seeing plane tickets as cheap as $700ish each way.

I'm just curious what they're going to do for seating setup to accommodate an NFL field on a rugby/Aussie rules football pitch.

It has been said they are the home team, it will be one of the following teams.

Any NFC west team or Dallas, NY Giants, KC or LA Chargers

This will be the first Rams SoFi home game lost to an international game...

Ill fly from either LA or SF. Planning on making a vacation out of it, spend a week in Australia and a week in either Japan or Bali. Still trying to figure it, the deposit is refundable.

I think this just comes down to education about the flight times and the jet lag to Australia actually not being as bad as going to Europe.

I think it's horrible... an outrage... unfair, unethical and unbelievable.

Give the Rams a 3rd round compensatory draft selection and all is forgiven!
