The Rams have their first playoff game in a decade on Saturday — their first in Southern California since 1986 — and L.A. celebrated Friday night with blue and white lights.
If you miss them Friday, the U.S. Bank Tower is lighting up blue and white again Saturday night starting at 5 p.m.
The iconic locations shining Rams blue and white:
- The L.A. Coliseum
- The Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel
- Los Angeles City Hall
- Union Station
- The L.A. Convention Center
- The U.S. Bank Tower

The Rams host the Atlanta Falcons in an NFC Wild Card playoffs game on Saturday, 5:15 p.m. at the L.A. Coliseum. It's the Rams' first playoff game at the Coliseum since 1979, with 1979 Rams team members lighting the Coliseum Torch. They're also honoring Rams greats Isaac Bruce, Eric Dickerson, Tom Mack, Orlando Pace and Jackie Slater at the game.
You can watch the game on NBC, or pick up some last-minute tickets to catch it live.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
