After spending almost two hours looking for parking (I spent $25 when I finally found a parking spot), I walked several blocks down to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to attend the Rams' Super Bowl LVI championship parade and rally today!
The parade began at 11 AM, while the rally occurred at the Olympic Plaza near the Coliseum Peristyle at 12 PM...both times in Pacific Standard.
As shown in these photos (the majority of them taken with my Nikon D3300 DSLR camera), it was Rams linebacker Leonard Floyd who held the Vince Lombardi Trophy while the buses slowly strolled down South Figueroa Street next to the Coliseum. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp and defensive tackle Aaron Donald were also spotted on the same bus that Floyd was on.
I didn't spot head coach Sean McVay, linebacker Von Miller or other Rams personnel till they gave their speeches at the rally afterwards. (I was too busy getting as many snapshots of the Lombardi Trophy on the bus as possible.)
It's amazing that I went to all five Lakers parades from 2000 to 2010, both Kings Stanley Cup parades in 2012 and 2014, and now a Super Bowl celebration in the City of Angels!
Here's hoping that the Major League Baseball lockout ends as soon as possible; the Dodgers need to win again and earn the parade they were denied two years ago. And the onus is now on the Chargers to bring another Super Bowl title to Los Angeles as well...
Screw the Clippers. Happy Wednesday!
