It sounds like the Rams plan to make their Australia trip a short one
Sean McVay fully expects the 49ers to land in Australia before the Rams, indicating it'll be a short trip for LA.
In five short months, the Los Angeles Rams will depart for Melbourne, Australia, where they will face the San Francisco 49ers in the season opener . The game will take place on Sept. 11 in Australia , but it’ll air live in the U.
S. on Thursday, Sept. 10 at 5:35 p.
m. PT, due to the 17-hour time difference between Melbourne and L. A.
Under Sean McVay, the Rams have tried to make cross-country trips as painless as possible by arriving the day before the game, even with a three-hour time difference. That’s not possible going from Los Angeles to Australia, but the Rams still plan to arrive closer to kickoff than the 49ers. While on “Up and Adams” this week , McVay was asked whether the Rams or 49ers will arrive in Melbourne first.
