Ask and ye shall receive....
Per game attendance for the final 5 years in LA:
1990 - 59,920
1991 - 51,586
1992 - 51,813
1993 - 45,401
1994 - 42,312
Per game attendance for the most recent 5 years in St.L:
2003 - 66,057
2004 - 65,923
2005 - 65,460
2006 - 65,326
2007 - 63,044
Well yea, HUb, but you gotta go back farther than that!
Ok, fine. Over their entire time in St. Louis, the Rams have averaged
63,886 per game. During that same time period in LA, the Rams averaged
52,873 per game.
Well yea, HUb, but look at last year.....that was the worst attendance the Rams have ever seen!
Really? The 2007 Rams averaged 63,044 per game. That single season is better than any season in nearly the final two decades of LA Rams football.
Why do we keep having to have these silly turf tiffs and hometown hassles?
Sadly Fleece, I'm afraid the facts in this will be lost yet again.
