Los Angeles
Professional football returns to LA after a 22-year hiatus. The Rams were the first NFL team in Southern California, starting in 1946, but unbelievably the nation's second-largest market was without pro football once the Rams (and the now Oakland Raiders) left in 1994. High hopes and high spirits abound.
Catch the Rams live at the Coliseum, if you're lucky enough to snag a ticket.
