We knew ridership to the Rams thumping of the Seahawks was big with Metro estimating about 21,000 boardings on the Expo Line and Silver Line after the game.

The NFL is saying that 91,046 tickets were distributed to the game, although actual attendance was 80,147, according to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. That means about 26 percent of those who attended the game left on Metro. It’s the most crowded anyone at Metro can remember seeing the Expo Line after a football game — and the Expo Line has been running to USC games since the 2012 season.

We’re aware there were long lines after the game. The Rams sealed the win in the final minute of the game, resulting in a huge crush of people leaving the Coliseum at the same time. It took about 85 minutes to get most of the crowds on trains after the game with a short delay in Expo service due to a power-related issue.

Of course, this is also the first football season with the Expo Line extension open to Santa Monica and it’s easier to get to the game via rail from more places. Metro also offered extra Silver Line service and Metrolink ran some extra trains. On our system, Expo trains were very full from 10 a.m. until the 1:05 p.m. game time. By noon, parking lots were filled at Culver City Station and La Cienega/Jefferson stations on the Expo Line and the North Hollywood and the Universal/Studio City stations on the Red Line subway.

What did you think, fans? Anything we should do different before the Rams host the coming-apart-at-the-seams Buffalo Bills on Oct. 9? Anything you would do different? Comment please or pass me an email.

Some reaction from social media:

With all the @metrolosangeles parking lots filled for #LARams game, seems like fans will miss games in LA when move to Inglewood #railrules — Rena Masten Leddy (@renamled) September 18, 2016

I expect there will be, at the least, shuttle bus service between the Crenshaw/LAX Line — scheduled to open in 2019 — and the new stadium.

@ayogist @expolineledger @metrolosangeles @RamsNFL so proud of LA Metro wish this was done when I moved to LA than it was only cars. — Bo (@BojanglesCA) September 18, 2016

Yes, if you grab the QB by the facemask right in front of the official and then lob the QB like a shot put, you get a flag. #SEAvsLA — Metro (@metrolosangeles) September 18, 2016

@metrolosangeles you guys need to prepare for these Ram games way better than it's being done today! — rocky perales (@562_Rocky) September 18, 2016

Overheard leaving the end of the green line from @RamsNFL fans, "That was pretty painless." @metrolosangeles — Ozzie Romero (@ozzieromero) September 18, 2016

And here’s what traffic looked like after the game:
