WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. — Gus Obregon is a Los Angeles Rams super fan known as the “Ramator.”
He’s a season ticket holder who waited patiently for his Rams to take the stage on Super Bowl opening night as the countdown to game day begins.
What You Need To Know
- The Los Angeles Rams held a Super Bowl opening night rally Monday in Westlake Village
- Players and coaches were made available virtually earlier in the day
- Opening night was once again scaled down due to the pandemic
"This is a dream that I’ve been waiting for, Los Angeles has been waiting for, the Ramator has been waiting for, the city of Los Angeles has been waiting for," said Obregon. "This is our Super Bowl."
About an hour later, their heroes arrived with electricity from the fans and fireworks in the sky. Even though there was tons of energy, because of COVID-19 it was nothing compared to chaos of opening night for the Rams in Atlanta during the 2018 Super Bowl, when all types of media fired away questions. Head coach Sean McVay likes it this way.
“It’s very different,” he said. “If you said, 'Hey we just walked down the hall, talk to you guys for a few minutes and going back to game planning,' it sounds like a plan to me.”
Still, there were a lot of non-football questions. We learned the coach loves some R&B.
"I grew up, my mom was listening to some Luther Vandross, some Bobby Brown, that type of stuff," said McVay.
For the Ramator and the rest of "Ramily," it was almost perfection. Now, one more win on Sunday will make it all complete.
"To win the Super Bowl, that is my bucket list," said Obregon. "Bring it home, Los Angeles Rams. Make my dream come true."
