LA Rams say they've collected more than 45,000 ticket deposits

LOS ANGELES —€” The Rams say they have collected more than 45,000 season ticket deposits in just two days for their upcoming return season in Los Angeles.

The Rams announced the results of their initial season ticket push Wednesday night.

The refundable deposits entitle fans to a spot in a virtual waiting line to purchase up to eight season tickets apiece for the NFL club's first season back at the Coliseum after 21 years in St. Louis.

The deposits also entitle fans to a spot on the waiting list for season tickets at the palatial Inglewood stadium currently being built by Rams owner Stan Kroenke. The stadium will open in 2019.

The Rams plan to continue the deposit campaign through Feb. 8.

The nation's second-largest market has been without an NFL team since 1994.
