When did you become a Rams Season Ticket Member?
In 2016 when the Rams came back to LA. We had 4 seats at the End Zone.
Share your story on how you became a Rams Fan.
I became a Rams fan during one of the most unforgettable moments of my life-watching Kurt Warner win the Super Bowl in 2000 with my favorite uncle, Bob, who raised me like one of his own daughters. That day left a permanent mark on my heart, especially because we lost him less than two years later to a brain aneurysm, just a week shy of his 40th birthday. Every time I watch a game-especially when the Rams won the Super Bowl at SoFi-I carry him with me and proudly wear the Warner jersey he loved so much. The number 13 was his favorite, since he was the 13th child in his family.
Now, life has come full circle. I'm married to my first boyfriend, who I reunited with after 13 years. We share a deep love for the Rams and have attended nearly every home game since they returned to LA. We even make it a point to travel to at least one away game each year. My husband has been a die-hard Rams fan since childhood and never misses a game. Being Rams fans is more than just loving football-it's about honoring memories, sharing traditions, and building new ones together.
What is your favorite Rams memory?
My favorite Rams memory was watching them win the Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium. It felt like everything came full circle-remembering my Uncle Bob, who introduced me to the Rams back in 2000 when Kurt Warner led them to victory, and standing beside my husband, who has been a lifelong fan. The energy in the stadium, the confetti falling, and the pride of being part of that moment-it was unforgettable. I wore my uncle's favorite Warner jersey, and it truly felt like he was right there with me. That memory is one I'll carry for the rest of my life.
What does being a Rams fan mean to you?
Being a Rams fan means community, loyalty, and unforgettable memories. Over the years, we've built incredible friendships with a group of fellow fans who have become like family. From tailgating before every game to celebrating birthdays, weddings, and life's milestones together, the Rams have brought us closer in ways we never imagined. Every season, we travel together to at least one away game-it's a tradition that keeps the bond strong. Being a Rams fan isn't just about cheering for a team; it's about the lifelong relationships and the sense of belonging that come with it.
Who is your favorite Rams player past or present? Why?
To be honest, Coach McVay is actually my favorite-not a player, but such an important part of the team. I admire the way his family's passion for football shines through in his leadership and commitment.
If I had to choose a player, it would be a tie between Aaron Donald and Kurt Warner. I love Kurt Warner's story-his perseverance, faith, and how he never gave up on his dream. And Aaron Donald's passion for the game, his work ethic, and the way he pushes his teammates to be better is truly inspiring. Both represent what it means to be a true Ram.
Do you have any gameday rituals? If so, what are they?
Our main gameday ritual is tailgating with our close group of friends before every home game-it's a tradition that brings us together and sets the tone for the day. For away games, the whole family gets into the Rams spirit at home. We all put on our gear, including our three dogs! One of them is a 125 lb Rottweiler, and since we couldn't find a jersey big enough for him, I bought him a men's large Rams jersey. All three dogs proudly wear their gear while we watch the game together. And without fail, my husband puts out our giant Rams flags in the front yard before every game-it's how the whole neighborhood knows it's game day at our house!
How do you show your Rams pride outside of gameday?
My husband wears his Rams hats every single day-no exaggeration! He even wears them to work sometimes. 😂 It's his way of showing love for the team all year round, and it's become part of his signature look. Whether it's the off-season or mid-playoff run, we're always repping the Rams in some way!
Is there anything else you would like us to know?
Being part of the Rams community has brought so much joy and connection to our lives. From bonding with fellow fans to creating lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories, it's more than just football-it's family.
No-I'm sorry, it's a RAMILY. 💙💛
Win or lose, we bleed blue and gold and will always be proud to represent the Rams. We can't wait for another amazing season and even more memories to come!
