THEY NORMALLY DISBAND
OVER THEY GET THERE, BUT
WELCOME TO IRMA.
AMY: BACK HERE AT HOME WE ARE
HOURS AWAY FROM THE RAMS HOME
OPENER AT THE COLISEUM.
JEFF: JOY BENEDICT LIVE IN
EXPEDITION PARKED WITH A SNEAK
PEEK AND I'M SURPRISED THERE ARE
NO TAILGATERS BEHIND YOU
ALREADY.
REPORTER: THEY DON'T OFFICIALLY
LET THEM COME IN AND TELL FIVE
HOURS BEFORE KICKOFF AND THAT'S
NOT UNTIL 8:00 A.M.
I BET YOU WILL SEE SOME
FOLKS SNEAKING THROUGH
SOON.
YOU CAN SEE THESE ARE
ALL PARKING LOTS AND
THEY WILL BE PACKED IN A
MATTER OF MINUTES.
I'M PRETTY SURE.
GETTING THE COLISEUM
READY FOR THE RAMS GAME
WAS NOT EASY.
LOOK AT THE VIDEO FROM
LAST NIGHT.
THERE WAS A USC GAME
LAST NIGHT AND THE
TROJANS DID BEAT
STANFORD LAST NIGHT.
AS FANS FLOODED OUT,
WORKERS WENT TO WORK
BECAUSE THEY HAD A LOT
OF THINGS TO DO TO
SWITCH OVER THE STADIUM
FROM ALL OF THE US C
STUFF TO RAMS STAFF.
THIS IS ONE OF THREE
TIMES THEY WILL MAKE THE
SWITCH THIS YEAR WITH
6000 EMPLOYEES TOTAL.
THEY HAD 350 WORKING
OVERNIGHT, 5000 FEET OF
BANNERS NEEDED OR
PLATES, 400 GALLONS OF
PAINT WAS IT USED TO
REPAINT THE FIELD AND
EVERYTHING AROUND IT TO
CHANGE THE COLORS.
TALKING TO WORKERS WHO
WERE THERE ALL NIGHT SAY
IT'S WORTH IT.
WE HAVE HIGH ENERGY
RIGHT NOW WITH THE
ADRENALINE KICKING IN.
OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS
WHAT TO EAT BECAUSE THE
BODY SLOWS DOWN AFTER
YOU EAT.
HARDEST PART WILL BE
TO FIND A WAY TO GET RID
OF THESE PACK 12 LOGOS.
THEY ARE FAIRLY BIG AND
WE HAVE REMOVABLE PAINT,
SO WE WILL TRY TO
PRESSURE WASH THEM TO
NOT TO HAVE TO GREEN IT
OUT BECAUSE I CAN BE
DICEY.
REPORTER: THEY WERE ABLE TO DO
ALL OF THAT AND THEY BEAT THEIR
GOAL TIME OF 6:00 A.M. BY COUPLE
HOURS PER BACK OUT HERE LIVE,
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW IF
YOU'RE COMING DOWN TO THE FIRST
GAME OF THE SEASON, THE OFFICIAL
SEASON HOME OPENER AT THE
COLISEUM AND THAT IS DON'T
FORGET THE CLEAR BAD POLICY.
YOU ALSO TAILGATE AT
8:00 A.M. 41:05 P.M.
KICKOFF AGAINST THE
COLTS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON.
SOMETHING ELSE TO
REMEMBER IS THAT YOU CAN
BRING IN TWO BOTTLES OF
WATER THAT ARE FACTORY
SEALED OR SOME SORT OF
CONTAINER TO FILL UP
WITH WATER ONCE YOU GET
INSIDE.
IT WILL BE--
TEMPERATURES GET HOT AND
IT HOST YOU BRING YOUR
OWN WATER.
THAT'S TWO BOTTLES PER
PERSON WITH A TICKET UP
TO 17 OUNCES.
AMY: 'CLEAR BAG IS KEY.
I MADE THAT MISTAKE ONCE
, NEVER AGAIN.
IT'S A LONG LINE TO
CHECK IN YOUR PURSE.
JEFF: YOU CAN WATCH THE RAMS
SEASON OPENER AGAINST THE
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS AND OUR
SISTER STATION CBS 2 AND A GAME
STICK AROUND FOR THE RAMS
POSTGAME SHOW WITH SPORTS
DIRECTOR JIM HILL ALL AT THE
COLISEUM.
