The Super Bowl is bullet-proof, ratings-wise. Games featuring Denver and Seattle, Pittsburgh and Green Bay, New England and Atlanta have had audiences over 110 million.



While that's true, LA is a true front runner town

It's a lot easier to galvanize a potential fanbase when the prospective team just played in a Super Bowl.

I don't necessarily think the interference no-call was conspiratorial. It was just a huge miss. But I'm sure Goodell LOVES the fact that LA is in the Super Bowl.

Lakers, Angels and Kings would beg to differ *

How about USC?

Even with decent ticket sales, there were tens of thousands of empty seats at Rams games, especially last year. Obviously, attendance improved this year as things went along. Winning does that in LA. Hell, half the crowd vs. Dallas were Cowboys fans. In the second-largest market in the US.

And LA doesn't care about the Rams anyway *

Dodgers #1 in total attendance #1 in game average
Lakers sold out every home game
Kings sold out every home game
Rams #12 in attendance in temporary stadium under construction. 5000 tickets behind the Chiefs BTW.

How about the TV numbers.

Saints would get better TV numbers than Rams. Not even close.
