The weather conditions (if they keep the roof open) are going to be perfect for football. As for fans... while there would likely be a significantly greater presence of Vikings fans in Arizona, the Rams won the same number of games at home and on the road this year (5 each), so I'm not overly concerned.


Rams havent had a great home field advantage must of the season except for a couple games (Cards and Vikes). It is reported that 90% Ram fandom at sofi for this game, so a major blow if the game isnt played at SoFi IMO. Rams will need the crowd to help disrupt the Viking offense.

I gotta say, having been at a lot of games at SoFi, having made a ton of noise (really, the stadium gets hella loud) on big 3rd and 4th downs for the defense, i haven't noticed any effect. Teams are really good at running their offense in noise nowadays.

I'm sure the effect has to be more than zero but man it sure seems like zero most of the time...

I dunno that Cards game in particular caused several false starts. I think we need every advantage our defense can get. I like I chances causing issues with our pass rush. Anything you can do to get the other team on a silent count is a good thing. I will go as far to say I think we win in Sofi and lose in AZ.

BTW not loving those pictures minutes ago of the smoke nearing the practice facility, arghhhhhhhhh

Not as bad as it looks, could see it from my house too. Pretty far away from Woodland Hills, part of the Palisades fire. Obviously not good but those mountains are far from Rams facility.

Not good, what a cluster F. I was hoping the less wind would help.

I don't want to predict or pretend i know stuff i don't but you can see it's at the base of Bell Canyon and will almost certainly burn that direction. The Rams practice at Warner center which you can see on the right side of the map...
