"When the Rams moved from Cleveland in 1946, they were one of the best teams in the NFL, and in 1951 they brought Los Angeles an NFL title. When they left Los Angeles in 1980 to move down the freeway to Orange County's Anaheim Stadium, they once again were one of the league's best, having won seven consecutive division titles and having just appeared in a Super Bowl. But Anaheim Stadium had been no kinder to the Rams than to its original tenant, baseball's California Angels. The Angels have never gone to the World Series and the Rams, since moving from the Coliseum, never went to the Super Bowl or ever close. Attendance and interest dwindled, Rams owner Georgia Frontiere moved the franchise to St. Louis in 1995.

Don't worry about too much advance planning - this is one of the easiest tickets in professional sports. As the saying goes, good seats are available. Well, decent seats, anyway. No one is going to accuse Anaheim Stadium of hosting the quintessential football experience. The seats were designed for viewing baseball. The folks at Anaheim do a nice job converting the facility for football, but it just isn't the same as viewing a game at a real football stadium. The crowd's constant booing of the home players, plus angry banners such as "Please, Georgia, Sell The Team." don't add to the ambience.

However sad the play, remember you're just a few blocks away from Disneyland, the happiest place on earth. Most people can't afford NFL football and Disneyland on the same day, but it's worth a thought."
