On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams provided their dozens of fans with a reason to celebrate after beating the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI to bring the Lombardi Trophy back to a city that seemingly could not have cared less about the outcome of the game.
After the contest, LeBron James was subjected to a flood of mockery for suggesting the Lakers (as well as the Dodgers) should join the NFL champs for a victory parade. The franchise unsurprisingly declined to pounce on that suggestion, but the team did assemble for a procession through the streets of L.
A. on Wednesday—although the same couldn’t really be said about the crowds of adoring spectators (or lack thereof).Following the Super Bowl, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced the iconic Hollywood Sign would be getting a temporary makeover to honor the victory, and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce released a mockup of the vision to make the landmark read “Rams House” to commemorate the win.
The workers tasked with facilitating the transformation by covering the preexisting letters took a bit longer than expected, as the sign still read “Rallyouse” when it was photographed on Tuesday.
