About the Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams were established in 1936 and they compete in the NFL, as a member club of the league’s NFC West division.
The franchise was originally known as the Cleveland Rams, located in Cleveland, Ohio. The Cleveland Rams won the 1945 NFL Championship Game and in 1946, the franchise moved to Los Angeles, California. The team played their home games at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and in 1980, they moved to Anaheim Stadium in nearby Anaheim. The Rams left California and relocated to St. Louis, Missouri in 1994. In 1999, the Rams won Super Bowl XXXIV after defeating the Tennessee Titans with a score of 23 – 16.
At the end of the 2015 NFL season, the team filed a notice to the NFL about their plan of moving back to Los Angeles. The move was approved with a vote of 30-2 at an owners’ meeting in January 2016. The Rams returned to the city for the 2016 NFL season and they play their home games at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
