Strictly high school. The LA p.a. announcers have always been know for their professionalism and neutrality. Frank Bull, John Ramsey, class acts all the way. This was bush league.

p.s. I don't want to "Stand With The Rams" when the Rams are kicking off. I'm standing enough with the guy in my row who's had 9 micheladas.

PA guy... seriously... the worst. Both of my kids DREADED his over-animated "announcing". He's really gotta go.

All I kept thinking the whole game was "wow, the Coliseum does not hold up to pro football." I spent over 45mins in concession line - in fact, it was so long that folks around us thought we left and moved to our seats. Fans in line complaining that it was worse than a Texas high school football game -- and when you really took a look around (and at the concessions menu), it really was. I mean, they have 3 things you can order...

Amazing game. Definitely have some new lifelong Rams fans in our family but can the announcer and sort out something with concessions QUICK!

Oh and the Mandi cheerleader intro was also pretty lame.... just sayin'

One addition.... taking Metro rail was a great add to the day. Getting on the subway and finding it filled with Rams and Cowboys fans -- we finally live in a real city! Uber'd to the nearest station, ride was quick and simple, same going home... GREAT GAME DAY!

Looking for alternates to spending big $$$ on tailgating. LOVE the metro idea, but looking at the existing schedule, it sure looks like less runs on a Sunday compared to the rest of the week. So the question is, will they ramp it up for gameday Sundays??

Hopefully the LA sports bars will kick it up a notch and start offering shuttles to/from the games. That's always my favorite way to go.

I know they should have expected it, but man, 90k for a pre-season football game?
Highest attendance for a pre-season game ever (inside the US)
Logistics clearly need work, but man, wasn't much of a dry run

Maybe the fans are like our quarterback. Inexperienced. They just need a little time to learn the nuances of NFL football. They'll be fine once they get it. Kinda like Goff. 8-)
