Have any of you ever met a Rams fan in your life? I'm pretty sure I've met multiple fans of every team, but I don't think I've ever met a Rams fan.

I posed this question to my Facebook with only a couple people out of 2 thousand responded saying they have. And it equals to four total.

I knew a few bandwagon Rams fans during their Greatest Show on Turf years, but that's about it...so no.

My wife is from Southeast MO and I don't think even she knows any Rams fans. Most of them probably switched to the Chiefs or Bears after the Rams left.

Yeah I saw a guy wearing a Sam Bradford jersey in the mall and it got me thinking.

You don't even hear anything about Rams fans. You never see them comment on anything NFL related. I don't think they actually exist.

Its kinda funny, maybe even a little sad to watch a NFL game in LA. Most of the time the visiting team has half if not most of the fan support. My Steelers played the Chargers in LA a couple of years ago and I'm pretty sure it was 70% Steeler fans.

California teams only matter when they’re doing good otherwise it’s not the social scene they want.

No I pay attention. You just have a lazy take.

As a Detroit fan, the Red Wings were tops in attendance for decades. The last few years they’ve barely could fill half the building. People don’t go out and watch losing teamss unless in rare circumstances (Knicks because of MSG, Cubs because of Wrigley).

I watched the Sabres play the Wings last night and that place was empty and dead (not that I blame them) lol. Feel like Cavs fans haven’t shown up since LeBron left.

Cubs and Knicks because of their venues…their fans show up for sure. After that, it’s hard to find cities that support teams (at least in attendance) when times are bad or multiple years of losing.

It's pretty well known that Atlanta and Miami have the market cornered on flaky fan bases.

I don't think anywhere has the market cornered on flaky fans. There's only so much a fanbase will take before they just find something else to do with their time and money. The Falcons have proven this repeatedly for 40 years. It's been a rollercoaster with a lot of breakdowns.

As I stated before, the Red Wings made the playoffs for 25 straight years and routinely filled up the Joe during the regular season. Within the third year and fully rebuilding they could barely get the arena half full. People, no matter what market, don’t watch losing teams in person lol

LA’s biggest teams are all transplants.

Rams, Dodgers, Lakers. Even their other little brother teams the Chargers and Clippers are. The Kings are the biggest homegrown team, and the other little brother teams (Angels, Ducks) people usually forget exist.

The most popular NFL team is probably still the Raiders, who left almost 30 years ago and themselves were a transplant.

prolly about the same amount of fans as titans fans.

lived in STL and missouri for a good portion of my life and they did have a nice following. all the while stan kroenke and the nfl were completely screwing them and actively trying to destroy the franchise so they could move them to LA.

one thing i can say about the st louis rams is that the dome wasn't constantly filled with opponents fans, unlike say, nissan stadium

(i'm a titans fan)

It is ridiculous.........With all the dang Californians moving here, the Titans should be renamed the NashFornia Titans.

Yes. I have met a Rams fan. I sat next to Vince Ferragamo in the Rose Bowl at the UT/UCLA game in 1994 (Peyton's first game).
