Football is on it’s way back to Los Angeles and fans have responded in a big way already.

According to Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, the LA Rams have already sold their maximum number of season tickets for the upcoming 2016-2017 season, leaving only single-game tickets left for beloved Rams fans near and far.

“To sell out of season tickets in the first six hours upon our return to Los Angeles is both humbling and a reminder of how excited Angelinos are about the return of the Rams and the NFL,” Rams COO Kevin Demoff told Farmer. “As both Los Angeles’ first pro sports team and its newest sports team, the bond between this team and the community is evident and strengthening each day.”

If this doesn’t get the Rams organization excited about moving from St. Louis to Los Angeles, not much will. Already there is so much support for the organization and with a successful, even semi-successful season, expect to see those numbers stay consistent through the 2018 season when they will move out of the L.A. Coliseum (93,607 capacity) and into the “NFL Disney World,” as many are calling it, which will hold 80,000 people.

While numbers suggest the Rams are downsizing, at 80,000 the Rams will be tied with the Dallas Cowboys for largest stadium in the league. Selling out every game will be tough, but the Rams are well on their way to bringing football back to the City of Angels, and will hope to improve on their 7-9 record from last year.

It’s simple. You win, you put butts in the seats. The buzz is already there, now it’s up to the organization to produce.
