The Rams are just two seasons removed from playing their season-opener in a half-empty stadium following their transition from St. Louis to Los Angeles.
The Coliseum is home of the USC Trojans, who amassed a crowd of over 77,000 the night before for its game against Stanford. The following day, the stadium was not even a 30% full to greet the Rams.

Welp, the Rams organization is trying to rub out the growing pains and ramp up the ice cold interest from Los Angeles residents by slashing the price of season tickets immensely.
The Los Angeles Rams are offering season tickets for just $250. The Rams Gameday Pass includes tickets to all eight 2019 home games at the Coliseum for just $31 per game. Seats will be selected by the Rams prior to each game and the locations may change. https://t.co/mdI492QBYC

$31 per ticket to watch a team who went 15-4 and made a trip to the Super Bowl just last season.
This deal is only made better when you consider that the Coliseum recently underwent a $315 million renovation that includes brand new seats with increased leg room, upgraded concourses and concessions, new video boards and electrical and plumbing systems, and ultra LED stadium lighting, Markazi reports.
A couple caveats to the deal: You cannot pick your seats. The Rams will auto-assign you seats each game and seat locations may change each game. Also, the Rams cannot guarantee that all seats will be together if more than two are purchased; may be in two groups of two tickets.
For comparison, season tickets for New England Patriots games begin at $750.
Best of luck to the Rams organization in proving every NFL fan on the planet wrong that the move to Los Angeles was the worst decision in sports history. Other than Pete Carroll throwing on the one yard line.
