The Rams are having a welcome back/celebration and press conference at 1. Sorry for little notice about the following but just found this out.
Fox 11 will be streaming it live.
Two years ago, this article expressed the feelings of Jack Youngblood, Fred Dryer, the late Deacon Jones, and thousands upon thousands of us who wondered if this day might miraculously arrive!
For those worried about blackouts, well, the FCC ruled the blackout rule invalid about a year ago. And even if it was still in effect the 70,000 seating capacity is perfect. When the Rams played in the Coliseum up until 1980, they used what was known as the Reeves configuration. This was named after the late Rams owner Daniel Reeves. It pushed the field up against the west end of the Coliseum and placed a huge set of bleachers behind the east endzone. It made the seating capacity of the Coliseum around 72,000. This was done for 2 reasons. 1. It made sense because if you had ever sat in the peristyle end on the east end of the Coliseum the game seemed miles away. 2. It allowed for more local telecasts and the blackouts to be lifted.
