Rams Head to Australia for NFL Debut

0:00On March 26, the Los Angeles Rams are heading to Australia for their 20-26 season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. The game marks the first regular season NFL match-up down under, set for September at the historic Melbourne Cricket Ground. These NFC West rivals will kick off the campaign on that massive field. Recently, Rams players Kevin Dotson and Kyron Williams travel to Melbourne for a scouting trip. They tour the city and checked out the stadium firsthand to prepare for week 1. Dotson shared his reaction to the venue's enormous scale, far bigger than typical American football stadiums where fans sit close to the action. The open space around the field caught him off guard. Even though the playing surface will match standard NFL dimensions, the extra room beyond the sidelines means plenty of adjustment for everyone. Players can't wait to bring the whole team there next year. Promising a unique start to the season that fans on both sides will remember.
