The Rams are playing their “home” playoff game in Arizona on Monday night due to the wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles, but they are doing what they can to make State Farm Stadium in Glendale look like Sophia Stadium in Inglewood.
Rams president Kevin Demoff posted several messages on social media about how they are trying to maintain home-field advantage, with some cooperation from the NFL and Cardinals.
For starters, Rams season ticket holders got the first chance to purchase tickets to the game, and The Rams said 35,000 season ticket holders purchased tickets. The team is arranging buses from SoFi Stadium to State Farm Stadium to transport fans to the Rams’ temporary stadium.
Demoff confirmed that the field will have markings and the Rams logo on the 50-yard line and in the end zones, as they do at their home games. The team’s staff is working with the Cardinals stadium staff to use the on-screen graphics that the Rams use on their video board.
“Our staff is on the ground in Arizona working to install as many graphics as possible to make it look like a home game. Not all clips from the Infinity Screen are translated but we are doing our best to make it Rams House,” Demoff wrote.
NFC West champion rally towels will be distributed to Rams fans as they enter the stadium, and Demoff said the Cardinals and Vikings cooperated in their efforts.
“A huge thank you to the Cardinals, Michael Bidwill and his family for stepping in to help before Monday’s game. We could not prepare, play or transport our players and families without their help,” Demoff wrote. “I would be remiss if I did not thank the Vikings, their leadership and the Wilf family as well for not only their generous donation to the efforts Fire relief but also for their understanding of the poignant parts this week. “This is difficult for them and their support is incredible.”
Nothing is normal about this week, but the Rams and the league are doing what they can to make Monday night feel like a normal Rams home game.
