SAN FERNANDO VALLEY - The Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday announced that they're moving their practice facility to Woodland Hills in advance of the 2024 NFL season.
The team's new facility will be located at the corner of West Oxnard Street and Canoga Avenue, part of the nearly 100 acres in Woodland Hills that was acquired last year by Rams owner Stan Kroenke.
The announcement took place during a celebration at the adjacent Topanga Village, an indoor-outdoor shopping and dining destination that's also part of the 100 acres. Rams Chief Operating Officer Kevin Demoff was joined by Council member Bob Blumenfield to announce the move. Construction work is expected to begin this week, weather permitting.

"This is a monumental day for the Los Angeles Rams as we can now call Woodland Hills and the City of Los Angeles our home," Demoff said.
"I am thrilled that Stan Kroenke and the Los Angeles Rams are investing in our community and calling Woodland Hills their home," Blumenfield remarked. "I look forward to partnering with the Rams and the Kroenke Group as they develop plans for their footprint and investments in Warner Center and deepen their local relationships."

Over the next few months, the Rams are expected to set up a facility on the land, consisting of modular trailers that will include office space and meeting rooms for coaches, players, scouts and staff, a weight room and training room, locker room, media room and meal room. Adjacent to the trailers will be two football fields where the team will train and practice.
Once the practice facility is set up, the organization is expected to begin exploring a larger development that will include the permanent headquarters and practice facility for the team, as well as a plan to include residential, commercial, and retail uses along with green spaces and other community-serving amenities.
Topanga Village has over 70 shops and restaurants, ranging from popular national brands to unique local businesses. The outdoor shopping center features a playground for children, pet-friendly areas, and water features that are perfect for hot summer days.
It serves as a community gathering place and hosts a wide range of events throughout the year including summer live music, a pumpkin patch, outdoor workout classes, and holiday events. The Rams said that future improvements to the center will prioritize creating a space where people can come together to shop, dine and socialize.
