Sean McVay and the LA Rams wished that their season would end sometime in January, or even better with another Super Bowl run, but their disappointing season will end in week 17. Out of playoff contention, they will be playing their last home game ever at the iconic LA Coliseum against the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon.
Although the Rams only recently moved back to LA in 2016, their history with the Coliseum goes back much farther than that. The Rams originally moved to LA from Cleveland in 1946 and called the Coliseum home from 1946 until 1979 when they played in Anaheim Stadium until their move to St. Louis in 1994.
For Clay Mathews, his final game at the Coliseum will be an emotional one, as there is much family history there. His father Clay, uncle Bruce, and brother Kyle, all played here for the USC Trojans before he joined as well, and helped the Trojans to 4 straight Rose Bowls.
Although the Rams will be moving only 10 miles down the road to SoFi Stadium next season, the Coliseum isn’t going anywhere. The iconic stadium built in 1923, has many memories of college championships, NFL games, a baseball world series, and even two summer Olympics.
