Rams Moving? L.A. Working To Build New Practice Site Nearer SoFi Stadium

The Los Angeles Rams have taken steps toward a permanent practice facility in Woodland Hills, California

The Los Angeles Rams may soon have a new, more permanent practice facility to call their own. 

Since moving back to Los Angeles in 2016, the Rams have practiced at Cal Lutheran in Thousand Oaks. With Thousand Oaks being nearly 50 miles away from SoFi Stadium, it hasn't been the most convenient setup. They also hold their training camp at UC Irvine, which is still over 40 miles away.

That could all be changing soon, though. Los Angeles City Councilman Bob Blumenfield confirmed that the Rams have filed paperwork with the Woodland Hills planning department to build a new practice facility in the city, according to KCLU. This news comes on the heels of Rams owner Stan Kroenke purchasing The Village mall in Woodland Hills for $325 million in January, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Woodland Hills is less than 30 miles from SoFi Stadium, much closer than the Rams' current practice facility. It's not yet known if they will move their training camp to the new facility as well, but it would likely be large enough to do so.

According to RamsWire, Blumenfield sent a letter to Woodland Hills residents, providing more details on the project. In the letter, Blumenfield says the Rams' new practice complex would be "very similar" to their current one and it would be a "year-round" facility. 

Twitter user @tbearde shared a rendering of what the new facility could potentially look like, which was reportedly also included in the letter sent to residents. While not final, the rendering gives a general idea of what the complex will be when finished.

With the Rams about to enter their eighth season back in L.A., it seems like it is about time time to get a new practice facility to call home.
