Aaron Donald Celebration Game: Sunday, November 23 

This Sunday, the Rams will welcome back to the Rams House the greatest defensive player of his era, Aaron Donald. The Rams will celebrate Donald's legacy throughout their Sunday Night Football matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 23 with kickoff scheduled for 5:20 p.m. PT at SoFi Stadium.

Celebrations will include an exclusive, limited-edition Aaron Donald Bobblehead giveaway for the first 60,000 fans in attendance upon entry at gates. Fans can also visit Upper American Airlines Plaza to snap a photo with a life-sized version of the Aaron Donald Bobblehead.

Halftime will feature a video tribute to Donald before the USC Marching Band performs alongside rapper, actor, television presenter, radio personality, and record executive Xzibit. The band will assemble in formations to honor Donald and also will wear "99" shirts as an ode to the G.O.A.T.

The Rams have incorporated elements of Donald into their gameday presentation to cement his legacy. New this season, to start the game and the second half, fans view the "Call to Stomp" video where Donald narrates the grit of the Rams and calls on fans to join him in an "LA Rams" chant. During the first quarter, Donald will be recognized as the Rams Iconic Legend of the Game featuring a video spotlighting the impact he made on the game as well as an on-field interview.

World-renowned performance painter David Garibaldi will construct a painting of Donald during the pregame show. The Equipment Room at SoFi Stadium on Level 4 will have fan-favorite AD items for purchase. Upper and lower American Airlines Plaza also will feature custom "99" activations and Donald pillar wraps.

To cap off the festivities, R&B singer-songwriter Lucky Daye will perform the National Anthem and rapper, singer and songwriter Paul Russell will perform during the third quarter break of the game.

In addition, Donald will host members of the Watts Rams Youth Football team in a special "Section 99" to enjoy the game. Donald worked with the Watts Rams throughout his active playing career and will participate alongside fellow Rams Legends in a turkey giveaway for the youth team and their families in Watts prior to Sunday's game.

"Aaron Donald is one of the greatest Rams of all time and we can't wait to come together with our fans to thank him for everything he's done for our organization, our city and our game," said Los Angeles Rams General Manager Les Snead. "It will be an honor to recognize Aaron on the very field where he sealed our Super Bowl win."

Donald had a storied career in the horns, spending all ten seasons of his career with the Rams. He earned Defensive Player of the Year honors a record-tying three times, secured Pro Bowl nominations in all ten seasons of his career and helped the Rams lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy after recording the game-sealing stop to win Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium.

Number 99 led the NFL in sacks during the 2018 season and established a new high-water mark for defensive tackles with 20.5. Additionally, Donald notched a Rams franchise record 111.0 career sacks, becoming just the second defensive tackle in NFL history to eclipse the century mark.
