By moving two teams to Los Angeles in 2016, the NFL stood to gain major long-term financial benefits and there’s a clear delineation between the Rams’ attendance numbers before and after the move from St. Louis, including over the past two seasons in which the team has gone 8-18 since winning the Super Bowl. The NFL wanted to build a spectacle in Los Angeles with SoFi Stadium to attract many thousands of people to a destination football experience.
The NFL is getting that, as the 3-6 Rams rank sixth in average home attendance with 73,587 per game.
