Take a tour of the Rams’ redesigned facility and locker room

The Rams made several changes to their headquarters this year to keep players and staff safe amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Rams have been highlighted on multiple occasions by the NFL for their work to get their facility ready for players’ arrival before camp. Commissioner Roger Goodell even pointed to the Rams as an example of how the NFL is working to keep players and staff safe amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The team has reworked areas of the facility like the locker room and weight room to accommodate players as they arrive for work this week. They also installed a facial recognition and temperature sensor at the entrance, and will outfit everyone in the building with location trackers to ensure everyone is adhering to social distancing protocols.

Steve Wyche of NFL Network took a tour of the facility and was shown these new features of the building by Rams head trainer Reggie Scott. Take a look at the changes the team has made, as well as a glimpse at the new helmet with mouth shields installed by Oakley.

Rams headquarters ‘has been flipped on its head’ for safety measures

The Rams have made countless changes to their facility, including a facial recognition device at the entrance.

Every NFL team is taking preventative measures this offseason with the coronavirus complicating everyday life as we know it. The Rams have revamped their team headquarters to adhere to social distancing policies and health and safety precautions, all to hopefully get the 2020 season started without a delay.

Steve Wyche of NFL Network recently went through the Rams’ facility and he came away amazed by the transformation it has undergone. He called it a “massive undertaking” and said the building “has been flipped on its head.”

The media room has been turned into an auxiliary locker room, there’s a facial recognition device when entering the building, and a huge tent covering half the players’ parking lot will be used to hold team meetings so players can spread out in the open-air space.

At the 36-second mark of the video, you can see the Rams’ new helmet with Oakley’s mouth shield, which won’t be a requirement for players to wear but is recommended by the NFL. Some players across the league have voiced their opinions against the mouth shield, which is still a work in progress.

The Rams and Chargers were the first teams to receive mouth shields for testing, given their close proximity to Oakley’s headquarters.

The Rams will be testing players on July 27 and 28, with training camp officially starting at a later date that is still to be determined.
