For my dad’s birthday this year, I decided to buy tickets to the home opener. Even at the time of the purchase, the Los Angeles Rams taking on the Arizona Cardinals seemed like a one-sided affair. But with the Rams coming off an 11-5 season and NFC West title, I felt it was necessary to capture that energy for the first time in 2018. For my dad, he grew up supporting the Rams, but hadn’t been to a game in nearly 30 years. He swore off the team when they moved to St. Louis but was more than happy to welcome them back when they returned in 2016.
