The Los Angeles Rams will pick up and move for the second time in four years next season, though this change will be much easier than the one they made in 2016. After moving from St. Louis to Los Angeles three years ago, the Rams will head to Inglewood in 2020, playing their home games at SoFi Stadium.
Sunday’s matchup with the Cardinals will be the Rams’ last game at the Coliseum, so while they’re out of playoff contention, this game does carry some meaning for the team. Robert Woods played his college ball at USC and his home games were held at the Coliseum, so he has plenty of history at this venue.
That being said, he’s ready to move into the brand new stadium being built in Inglewood.
“I love the Coliseum, but I’m ready for that new stadium,” Woods said, via the Los Angeles Daily News. “Having our own stadium, our own field, our own locker room. Being a real NFL team, having our own set-up here.”
The Rams played at the Coliseum from 1946-1979 before moving to Anaheim Stadium and then St. Louis. They returned to the Coliseum in 2016, but only for a brief stay while SoFi Stadium was being constructed.
Sunday’s game will be bittersweet, as Nickell Robey-Coleman called it, for many of the Rams’ players who played there the last four years. But, running out of the tunnel at a state-of-the-art stadium will be something special for the Rams (and Chargers) in 2020.
