The Rams Provide A Sneak Peak Into Their Potential LA Future (Photos)
Wednesday, the St. Louis Rams concluded their much-discussed five-day stopover in Southern California. Though the visit centered around two joint training camp workouts with the Dallas Cowboys, at Dallas' Oxnard camp location, the majority of coverage involved the team's potential relocation to Los Angeles, which may happen as soon as next season.
Below is a look at how the former and possibly future LA Rams spent their time in the place they may once again call home. In typical LA fashion, St. Louis' itinerary featured constant interaction with both athletic and Hollywood heavyweights.
The Rams lodged at the Four Seasons Westlake Village. The luxury property sits 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles and 25 miles southeast of Cowboys camp.
It is rumored that the Rams are exploring the Westlake Village/Thousand Oaks area as the possible location of a permanent practice venue, if the team were to relocate back to California. The upscale suburban setting is found 38 miles northwest of Inglewood, the probable site of a Rams LA stadium.
On Saturday, linebacker James Laurinaitis bulked up at the famous Gold's Gym in Venice, 30 miles south of the hotel. While at the iconic fitness facility, Laurinaitis spotted former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
During their SoCal sojourn, St. Louis conducted morning walk-throughs at the Oaks Christian School, a half-mile from the Four Seasons. The sons of Joe Montana, Wayne Gretzky and Will Smith once played simultaneously on the school's football team.
Monday, former LA Rams QB Jim Everett was in attendance.
Tuesday, LA Rams legend Eric Dickerson stopped by the school.
The Rams and Cowboys conducted business Monday and Tuesday afternoons, in Oxnard, with iFolloSports.com present for Tuesday's action. Several prominent figures from the sports and entertainment world also took in the scene, including LA Rams great Rosey Grier, Dodgers icon Tommy Lasorda, A-list celeb Jamie Foxx and Modern Family's Ty Burrell (pictured below).
In addition to the massive Rams vs. Cowboys brawl that broke out at the end of Tuesday's workouts, one of the most noticeable happenings was the sheer number of Rams fans (particularly LA Rams fans) that showed up to support the team.

Wednesday, prior to jetting back to St. Louis, the Rams participated in an autograph signing session at Naval Air Station Point Mugu, 27 miles northwest of the Four Seasons.
