If NFL fans in Los Angeles are excited about the Rams this year, they have a funny way of showing it. The L.A. Coliseum looked nearly empty for the team's home opener against the Colts on Sunday, and let's just say that everyone watching at home seemed to notice.
When the game kicked off, former Colts punter Pat McAfee was one of the first people to point out how empty the stadium looked.
Not even the lure of a $6 ticket was enough to get Rams fans to the game. That's right, all you needed was six dollars to attend Sunday's game, and even that wasn't enough to get fans through the doors...

WOW
That’s way less than half. I never knew how many racist there were in LA. /sarc
The NFL no longer wishes to be the football league of this nation.
No more taxpayer funded stadiums.
Looks like the crowd for 8th grade football in this part of Alabama.
I love it
Should have stayed in St Louis...
Not even the lure of a $6 ticket was enough to get Rams fans to the game. That’s right, all you needed was six dollars to attend Sunday’s game, and even that wasn’t enough to get fans through the doors.
The Rams announced that 60,128 tickets were “distributed” for the game. However, according to at least one reporter’s estimate, at least 12,000 of those tickets went unused.
On my second season of not watching, only mildly interested in case some team that does not tolerate that crap starts doing well.
That’s what I was thinking.
That’s good, Americans are finally saying...ENOUGH!
I only watch the playoffs now.
NFL is committing suicide with it’s insulting anti- American antics. Good! This will clear the path for better teams that play football without insulting the fans
Who wants to pay even six buck to watch anti-American theatrics with a football game tossed in there...somewhere?
Pathetic for the season opener.
Forget what the media says, forget the excuses from the NFL, AMERICANS don’t like it when our country is disrespected. So, they - players - have their rights of free speech. Well, we also have our rights to ours, called consequences. God Bless America!!!
I don’t care for or watch football. Can someone please explain the significance of this? Is this because of the guys that kneel during the anthem?
If I want to watch overpaid, whiney, anti-American political bigots compete with one another... I’ll flip on C-Span.
Put the “game”back into football and I’ll come back and eat your $9 hotdogs in really bad seats. otherwise, I have better stuff to do.
Sports are waaaay too important in America anyway.
In my lifetime, Los Angeles has lost THREE football teams. Ya think maybe it’s not a football town?
