Los Angeles Rams fans placed more than 56,000 season ticket deposits for the team's first season back in Southern California since 1994, the Rams announced Tuesday.

The $100 deposits, which give the buyer priority status for purchasing season tickets when they become available, would account for well over half of the seating in the Memorial Coliseum, which holds 93,607.

"We are inspired by how enthusiastically NFL fans in Southern California have responded to the return of the Los Angeles Rams," said Rams Chief Operating Officer/Executive Vice President Kevin Demoff. "We will reward their passion by providing a terrific game day experience at both the Coliseum this fall and ultimately in Inglewood. We can't wait to welcome our fans on Sundays and become an integral part of the Greater Los Angeles community."

Ticket prices will reflect the same rates that were available for fans in St. Louis last season--between $300 and $1,750.

The deposits give fans priority for season tickets in the future, including when the team makes the move to a new stadium in Inglewood in 2019.
