Congratulations to our October Season Ticket Member of the Month, Manuel Parra! Manuel first became a Season Ticket Member when he was 16 years old and saved up money from his part time job to buy Season Tickets. One of his favorite Rams memories is when he saw Eric Dickerson break the single season rushing yard record at Anaheim Stadium. Read more about Manuel below!
How long have you been a Rams STM?
When I turned 16 years old I got a part time job at a gas station paying me $50 a weekend. I saved up and bought my first Rams season tickets in 1981 at the age of 16.
Share your story on how you became a Rams Fan.
I have been a Rams fan since I was a little boy when they played at the coliseum. When I turned 16 years old I got a part time job at a gas station paying me $50 a weekend. I saved up and bought my first Rams season tickets in 1981 at the age of 16. I had season tickets till they left for St Louis. I followed then while they were gone and when they won the NFC championship at home I told my brother that game should have been played in Anaheim and we should have been there. They went on to win Superbowl 34 and I was so happy. When the Rams came home to LA I again bought season tickets and have had them every year since then.
What is your favorite Rams memory?
I have a few favorite memories. The first one is when I saw Eric Dickerson break the single season rushing yard record at Anaheim Stadium. The second was being at the NFC championship game at SoFi they day the Rams beat the Niners to go to Superbowl 56.I will never forget the atmosphere and how even though there were only about 50percent Rams fans there we were so loud I feel like the team felt our energy and rose to the occasion...
What does being a Rams fan mean to you?
To me it means I get to spend time with my grandsons taking them to the games. It's so awesome watching them yell "Rams House" and seeing the excitement in them that I also have.
Who is your favorite Rams player past or present? Why?
My favorite player is LeRoy Irvin. He was a great CB and exciting punt returner.
