    Kevin Demoff is the Los Angeles Rams Executive VP of Football Operations & Chief Operating Officer. He joined Chris Myers and Wes Clements to talk about various plans now that the Rams are in Los Angeles including:

    When will the team operation move to LA, location sites for facilities, practice games, ticket sales

    The odds for the Chargers to join the Rams

    Renovations that might be considered for the LA Coliseum

    An explanation of NFL rules regarding changing uniforms and how the fans feel about it. Kevin Demoff remarks, “It’s amazing. As passionate as Rams fans are in the return, almost every question that we get starts with uniforms.”

    The competitive nature of football, whether it’s in Los Angeles or elsewhere, he says, “I think you have to win in Los Angeles. Any team in Los Angeles, winning is paramount. There will be a short honeymoon period for both teams as you get into the market as people believe in you. But to stay relevant in L.A., to really attract the fans and the excitement, you have to win.”

    Community involvement for the Rams

    Current thoughts for the upcoming Training Camp

    do i want to see the rams on hard knocks? i’d lean towards no. don’t think it’d be that interesting anyway. and if they were on, i’d be too curious not to watch it.

    I’d like to see that nostalgic film they showed during the meeting in Chicago that Demoff talks about.

    Thanks for posting that, Isiah.

    I didn’t find the film particularly moving. I doubt it had the impact Demoff alluded to. The owners were swayed by dollar signs not nostalgia or sentimentality.

    they don’t yet know if they’ll be using turf or grass for the new stadium.

    i assumed they were using turf.

    I read turf. A long time ago. I suppose they could have changed their minds, but the original concept stated it would be turf.

    I would think turf would be preferable for maintenance reasons, but also because it could be rolled out of the way for monster trucks, or whatever.

    demoff said in the latest interview that they’re mulling it over.

    seems hard to bring grass in considering the stadium will be built underground.

    It wouldn’t be hard. Below ground level doesn’t make any difference. They would build a substructure with a drainage system and however they are going to irrigate, pour soil over the top of it, and then roll out the grass and let it grow.

    from what i understand with that weird plastic roof they have, you can’t grow the grass on the field while it’s in the stadium. they’d have to have a system to bring the grass in similar to what university of phoenix stadium has where it’s rolled outside the stadium and allowed to grow. of course with the estimated 3 billion in costs for this stadium. that probably isn’t a big deal. i’d want real grass.

    That could be. The roof could cut out some of the UV rays or some of that sciencey kind of nutritional nourishment out of the sunshine.
