Rams Training Camp at LMU

This summer marks the second consecutive year that LMU is proudly hosting Los Angeles Rams Training Camp – an exciting continuation of our growing partnership with the Rams organization. We are excited to provide another opportunity for our students to benefit from access to the Rams organization, via dedicated internships and additional yet-to-be-determined academic opportunities.

Hosting Training Camp brings a range of benefits to LMU, including national media exposure, exclusive student internships, and enhanced academic collaborations that align with our strategic vision to extend LMU's reach beyond the bluff. It also allows us to deepen engagement with prospective students, and connect with our alumni, donors, and friends. 

As an NFL training camp host, we are joining a select group of colleges and universities nationally to experience the excitement and energy of hosting a professional sports team. LMU is proud to play a role in creating a memorable fan and guest experience while showcasing our beautiful campus to a wider audience. 

The Los Angeles Rams will return to LMU this summer from July 14 to Aug. 6. Rams Training Camp presented by Unify will kick off in late July, during the week of July 21. More details including date and times of open practices and information for fans can be found on therams.com/trainingcamp.

The first areas to be impacted are the athletics fields and associated facilities as they are transformed into practice fields and fan engagement areas. In early-mid July, limited academic and administrative spaces will be converted into staff and player meeting spaces.

Please note the following limitations in effect between July 14-Aug. 6:

• Parking: The LMU community will have expanded access to multiple parking areas, including University Hall, Drollinger Lower Level, Rosecrans Lane, Whelan Lane, and Del Rey Undergound, offering greater options across campus.
  While the top level of Drollinger lot will be reserved for Rams overflow parking and summer camp pickups, the Drollinger Lower Level will be prioritized for the LMU community and guests.
