Sunday’s matchup between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams might have been in Southern California, but there was a decided dose of The D inside SoFi Stadium. Lions fans were well-represented for the Week 7 game at the beautiful new home of the Rams.
There were times during the game where the crowd was loudly pro-Lions over the radio broadcast feed. Based on first-person accounts from folks I spoke with who were at the game, several sections of SoFi had more Lions fans than Rams fans and the overall mix was roughly 30-40 percent Detroit fans.
Here are some of the best shots from the professional photographers in SoFi Stadium as well as fan posts on social media.

Can’t believe how many Lions fans are here. Allen Park would be threatening season ticket holders for selling if the roles were reversed.
