The Los Angeles Rams will call SoFi Stadium home beginning this season, but their headquarters will remain in Thousand Oaks at Cal Lutheran. It’s not an ideal situation for a team getting a brand new stadium, but they’re making it work.
And for the first time since the team moved back to L.A. in 2016, the practice facility got a major upgrade. The locker room was completely gutted and received a complete makeover, including new lockers, nameplates, lighting and the redesigned logos.
Here are some shots from a video shared by the Rams this week, showing the new-look locker room.
For as much heat as the Rams caught when they unveiled their new logos, they do look pretty good in the refreshed locker room. That’s not to say they’re perfect, but they look better “in the wild,” so to speak, than they do as a graphic online.
There are a lot of neat aspects of the locker room, including the drop-down seat that reveals spots for jerseys, cleats and anything else players want to keep in their lockers. The L.A. skyline on the nameplates is also a nice touch, as are the lighting effects.
And if you’re wondering what the locker room used to look like, it wasn’t exactly up to par. It was bland and not nearly as nice as the locker rooms you’d see at most FBS football programs.
There was nothing special about the locker room, so this was a much-needed upgrade.
This remodeling comes at a perfect time, since the Rams will be spending training camp at their headquarters in Thousand Oaks instead of traveling to UC Irvine as they do each summer. The NFL has put restrictions in place due to the coronavirus, requiring teams to hold training camp at their primary headquarters.
