Rams Reunion

For 33 of their 70 years, the Rams played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. After moving from Cleveland in 1946, they brought big league professional sports to Los Angeles for the first time and became an integral part of the city’s sports and cultural life until relocating to Anaheim in 1979, then later to St. Louis. On July 14, 2007, Merlin Olsen and Robert Klein co-chaired a reunion at the Coliseum that brought back members of those teams and organizations, renewing friendships and rekindling memories. Among the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees who achieved significant distinction with the Rams were George Allen, Eric Dickerson, Tom Fears, Sid Gilman, Elroy Hirsch, David Jones, Dick Lane, Tom Mack, Ollie Matson, Merlin Olsen, Dan Reeves, Pete Rozelle, Tex Schramm, Jackie Slater, Norm van Brocklin, Bob Waterfield, and Jack Youngblood. At the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum from 1946 to 1979, the team played its first game on September 6, 1946, against the Redskins before 67,420 spectators, its last game on December 16, 1979, against New Orleans before 56,409, and its largest crowd came on October 2, 1957, against the 49ers with 102,368 in attendance; over 350 games, total attendance reached 19,699,328.
