h/t from Arash Markazi. Flights on all major airlines are over $600 to fly to AZ from LA.
We are soooo cooked.

The competitive advantage lost is palpable. The multi billion dollar NFL shouldn’t every single season ticket holder to AZ. And offer subsidies for anyone who buys tix on airfare and hotels. Ya, I’m serious.

Not going to happen. I got f#%ked out of a bunch of money when they moved the Rams game from Mexico City back to LA. Not only did I lose money, but the decision was so last minute there was no chance to reschedule anything...

So I also missed one of the greatest football games of all time. Live!

.....which would have been my first in attendance Rams game ever.


NO, I'M NOT BITTER!! YOU'RE BITTER!!!

Rams and Vikings both play on turf at home. Cardinals play on grass. Wonder how, if at all, this affects either team. Who does it help, or hurt more?

[ramsman34]

I believe it helps the Rams. Slower surface negates some of the speed and quickness of the Vikings. The Rams game on offense is not as reliant on speed. Kupp and Stafford both said they prefer to play on grass. I do think there’s an advantage. If the Rams are on a silent count all game, I’ll be pissed.

WHOSE HOUSE!?!?!?!?!?!

No…I’m serious…whose house is this?

Whatever! Just win!

(And, FWIW, I wouldn’t want the narrative - fair or not - to be that we somehow put a game above the needs of the community.)

I still don’t get making us travel to AZ, why not keep in Cali and play in Santa Clara or go to nearer Vegas. I can’t see anyway that the Vikings don’t have the home field advantage.

Actually, Vegas would be the closest to L.A.
Hotels would be cheaper because it's on a Monday night,
and flights would be cheaper out of L.A. for the RAMs fan,
and the capacity is 65k in Vegas, compared to 63.4k in AZ.

Personally, I feel that the NFL, done this on purpose to give Minnesota fans,
a better chance to get a cheaper flight, and its closer to Minnesota.
I feel the NFL wants to give Minnesota a better chance to win.

Why would they want that?

Why would they want that?

I feel the NFL likes to see small Market teams to get recognized,
and a newer team going to the SB that hasn't been there for a while.

Good news Rams heading to Arizona tmrw will practice in AZ tmrw and thereafter. Arizona is opening their facilities to the Rams. This is huge IMO

Aldo Rams arranging buses to AZ for the game.
