IRVINE, Calif. — Adam Mirghanbari, or “Merg” to those who know him, attended his first Rams game in 1966. He was 3. He went with his father, a chemical engineer, to the Coliseum in Los Angeles, and even though he knew nothing about football, he never forgot that game. “I remember vividly sitting on the dirty concrete with peanut shells on the floor, he says. “My dad would watch, and I would watch him.”

Before he left the stadium that day, Merg knew what he wanted to be: an LA Ram. For life.

People always ask him.
