How Rams Are Preparing for Home Playoff Game at Rival Stadium

The Rams are hosting the Vikings in Arizona to close out the NFL’s wild card weekend. Monday night’s game was moved out of SoFi Stadium because of the Los Angeles wildfires.

The Rams spent the weekend preparing to host the Vikings at the home stadium of their NFC West rivals, the Cardinals, following the Monday night NFL wild-card game’s relocation due to the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.

State Farm Stadium in Phoenix has been transformed—as best as it can be—into a makeshift home for the Rams, who relocated to Arizona on Friday night. While the venue’s 63,000 seats can’t be changed from their red and silver colors, its field has been re-painted with Rams colors and logos.

NFC West champions-branded rally towels will be handed out to fans arriving at the game, Rams president Kevin Demoff said on social media. The team’s staff has also been working on installing stadium video graphics, but “not all segments translate,” per Demoff.

Who Will Attend the Game?

There were 52,000 tickets sold for the game during a two-hour priority window on Friday for Rams and Cardinals season-ticket holders. Demoff said that more than 35,000 of those purchases came from Rams fans. Tickets went on sale to the general public after that. As of Sunday afternoon, the least expensive ticket available on the third-party marketplace TickPick cost $134. 

The Rams are providing at least 15 buses, with spots available for 750 fans, that will make the roughly five-and-a-half hour drive from SoFi Stadium to State Farm Stadium on Monday. Kelly Stafford, the wife of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, helped assist with the bus effort. 

Giving Back

The ownership groups of the Rams, Chargers, Vikings, and Texans are leading an effort to donate $5 million to support communities affected by the wildfires in the greater Los Angeles region, with participation from the NFL Foundation, which is the league’s philanthropic arm.
