The Rams may have just returned to Los Angeles, but fans are already reserving spots to buy season tickets.
According to the NFL, the team received more than 45,000 deposits during the first two days of its season ticket campaign. The Rams started taking $100 refundable deposits on Monday.

Those who place a deposit get priority to buy tickets for the 2016 season at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, as well as a spot on the waitlist for the Inglewood Stadium opening in 2019. They will also get access to 2016 single-game tickets and any ticket packages before the general public. (More information here.)
The NFL plans to take deposits through February 8, depending on availability. The league expects spots to fill quickly over the next two weeks.
