Rams Claim Top Contributor Spot For Ticket Revenue Pool During 2016 Season

The Los Angeles Rams were at least winners in one area from their disappointing 2016 season.

After making the move from St. Louis, there was plenty of hype surrounding the Los Angeles Rams during their first season back in California, even if they failed to live up to expectations. One year after finishing with a 7-9 record thanks to a defense on the rise led by Aaron Donald, the Rams took a major step back in 2016 by only recording four wins while the offense ranked dead last in the league by only averaging 14 points per game.

Fans certainly had every reason in the world to be frustrated over the team’s performance during their first season back in Los Angeles, but at least the future appears to be bright with Sean McVay officially on board as head coach. And on a positive note, at least the excitement displayed by Rams fans was strong enough to help the team pull off an unexpected accomplishment.

According to Daniel Kaplan of The Los Angeles Business Journal, the Rams finished on top of the list for the 32 NFL teams contributing to the shared pool of ticket revenue for the 2016 season. As Kaplam points out in the article, each team contributes to the pool one third of their ticket sales, which is impressive for a squad that only managed to win four games all year.

Of course, this accomplishment was a little easier for Los Angeles since fans wasted no time purchasing the 70,000 season tickets available back in July for the 2016 season in a matter of six hours. Hopefully, these same fans won’t give up on the team after one disappointing season, and the Rams can figure out a way to make it worth their wild during Jared Goff‘s first full season as the starter running the offense.
