Professional American football team based in the Los Angeles metropolitan area



The Los Angeles Rams are a professional American football team based in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Rams compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the NFC West division. The team was established in 1936 as the Cleveland Rams in Cleveland, Ohio. The franchise relocated to Los Angeles in 1946, making them the first NFL team to play in Los Angeles. The Rams moved to St. Louis, Missouri in 1995, where they played until returning to Los Angeles in 2016.

History

Early Years in Cleveland (1936–1945)

The Rams were founded in 1936 by Homer Marshman and player-coach Damon Wetzel. The team was named after the Fordham Rams football team, which was a favorite of Wetzel. The Rams joined the NFL in 1937 and won their first NFL Championship in 1945.

First Stint in Los Angeles (1946–1994)

In 1946, the Rams moved to Los Angeles, becoming the first NFL team to play on the West Coast. The team played their home games at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. During this period, the Rams won two NFL Championships in 1951 and 1955. The team was known for its high-powered offense, featuring players like Norm Van Brocklin, Elroy Hirsch, and Tom Fears.

St. Louis Era (1995–2015)

In 1995, the Rams relocated to St. Louis, Missouri. The team played their home games at the Trans World Dome, later known as the Edward Jones Dome. The Rams won their first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XXXIV during the 1999 season, led by quarterback Kurt Warner and the "Greatest Show on Turf" offense.

Return to Los Angeles (2016–present)

The Rams returned to Los Angeles in 2016 and initially played their home games at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. In 2020, the team moved to the newly constructed SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The Rams won their second Super Bowl title in Super Bowl LVI during the 2021 season, led by quarterback Matthew Stafford and head coach Sean McVay.

Stadium

The Rams currently play their home games at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The stadium, which opened in 2020, is shared with the Los Angeles Chargers and is one of the most technologically advanced stadiums in the world.

Rivalries

The Rams have several notable rivalries, including with the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, and Arizona Cardinals. These rivalries are intensified by the fact that all four teams are members of the NFC West division.

Mascot
