Planning continued Tuesday for a celebratory parade in honor of the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl championship.
The victory parade will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, beginning at the Shrine Auditorium and ending a relatively short distance away at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where a rally will be held on the peristyle-end plaza outside the stadium.
The Rams played at the Coliseum from 2016-19 while SoFi Stadium was being built.
The procession will travel along Jefferson Boulevard to Figueroa Street, then head south to the Coliseum, where the rally will be at noon.
Most streets in the area will be closed to vehicle traffic from approximately 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Those planning to attend are strongly encouraged to use public transportation to reach the area. Information can be found at www.lacoliseum.com/directions/.
Detailed street closures are as follows:
- Figueroa Street between Adams Boulevard and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard;
- Jefferson Boulevard between Vermont Avenue and Grand Avenue;
- Exposition Blvd between Vermont Ave and Flower St
The following freeway off-ramp closures will also be in effect:
- 110 South off-ramp at Exposition Boulevard;
- 110 Express Lane on- and off-ramps at 39th Street.
Los Angeles County will lift its COVID-19 mandate that people wear masks at outdoor mega-events at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, meaning that attendees at the parade will not be required to wear face coverings. Most spectators at Sunday’s Super Bowl were seen ignoring the face-covering requirement.
The Dodgers and Lakers were denied victory parades following their COVID-shortened 2020 championship seasons due to pandemic restrictions, and some have suggested that the teams should be celebrated along with the Rams on Wednesday.
Lakers star LeBron James was among those making the suggestion.
“We, Dodgers and Rams should all do a joint parade together!!!!” James tweeted Monday. “With a live concert afterwards to end it!! City of Champions. Congrats once again.”
Thus far, however, there has been no formal decision to include the Lakers and Dodgers in Wednesday’s event.
The Rams claimed the Super Bowl title Sunday with a 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Monday that the victory capped a triumphant NFL return to the Southland.
“The NFL needed L.A., and L.A. needed the NFL,” Garcetti told reporters in downtown Los Angeles. “It was a broken-heart story. If it was Hollywood, it would have been maybe a rom-com. But at least some sort of romance. But it was our destiny to come back together.”
The mayor thanked NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, saying the league “bet big on L.A., not just once but twice, with two great teams.”
