State Farm Stadium turns into temporary SoFi
The Los Angeles Rams hope to continue their success in Arizona on Monday night against the Vikings, but usually when they play at State Farm the colors are red. That’s changing this weekend, as the Cardinals rolled out the Rams carpet to transform their home stadium into a temporary homefield advantage for L.A..

The Rams have won nine of their last 10 games in Glendale, with this season’s 41-10 loss in Week 2 being their only loss in Arizona since 2015.
But the Rams have been dominating the Cardinals at State Farm, not the Vikings. Luckily, L.A. has won their last three games against Minnesota, including 30-20 earlier this season and Sean McVay is 3-1 against the Vikings in his career.

There will be more eyes on the stands in this one as usual since the game had to be relocated to Arizona due to the wildfires that have devastated Southern California since last week. But Rams fans have been buying up tickets and scheduling rides to Glendale for the Monday affair, so other than what’s on the outside, maybe this could still feel like a home game on the inside.
