The Rams’ attendance in Week 1 was the target of mocking from NFL fans as the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was mostly empty for the team’s opener.

The Rams went on to win in a blowout, giving Los Angeles fans a reason to actually show up in Week 2, right? About that …

Though there was marginal improvement in Week 2’s crowd against Washington, the stands at the 90,000-seat stadium were still mostly empty. Compared to Saturday night’s game between USC and Texas at the Coliseum, the Rams were put to shame.

Yikes.

The announced attendance for Week 1’s game against the Colts was 60,128. To put the validity of that figure into perspective, the USC-Texas game was announced at 84,714. There’s a big difference between the announced attendance and the number of fans in the stands.

The USC attendance certainly proves that.
