Ever since the Los Angeles Rams moved back to California, there has been an emphasis on re-growing their roots in a place that they used to call home. The Rams called L.A. home for 34 years before moving to Anaheim in 1980 and then re-locating to St. Louis in 1995.
When the Rams returned to Los Angeles in 2016, it was important for them to re-integrate themselves into the community. In the 90s, the Rams regularly held training camp at UC-Irvine and that’s where they returned to in 2016. The location made sense at the time and it made sense 20-plus years later.
