Attendance has been a hot-button topic in Los Angeles this season, with both the Rams and Chargers struggling to fill their respective stadiums. On one hand, the Rams are one of the best teams in the NFL, but they play in a massive stadium and have only played one true home game since Week 3. On the other hand, the Chargers play in a tiny stadium and aren’t nearly as exciting as the Rams despite being 3-4.

Something’s got to give with both teams, particularly the Rams. They’re set up to go a full month between games at the Coliseum, with their last coming on Oct. 8 against the Seahawks. They’ll be back home on Nov. 12 against the Texans, which should see attendance marks increase.

The Rams are well aware of how few fans come out for their games, and they talk about it frequently. Running back Todd Gurley said as much on ESPN’s “First Take” Wednesday.

“We definitely talk about it. We just talk about trying to get the fans to fill the stadium up, and the only way to do that is to win. If you don’t win, nobody’s going to come to the game. You win, then you get more people to come to the games.

“Like I said, we talk about it all the time in the locker room. Definitely want to get the fans in Los Angeles to come to the games and support the Rams for sure – especially with two teams here. We can’t let them go to the Chargers.”

The Rams have suffered a steep decline in attendance, the NFL’s worst season-over-season drop in 25 years. About 25,000 fewer fans are coming out per game, which is a staggering number. The Rams’ average announced attendance through their first three games in L.A. is 59,161; only the Raiders, Bengals and Chargers are drawing smaller home crowds.

The Rams have won back-to-back games since their last game in L.A. and have the Giants up next on the road in Week 9. If they come back to the Coliseum at 6-2 ahead of a game against the Texans, you can bet the Coliseum will be packed with raucous Rams fans.
