BEACHFRONT FOOTBALL — The Los Angeles Rams are embracing their coastal identity by building a 60-yard turf football field on Hermosa Beach ahead of Thursday's NFL draft.

The team said the field will be a "key venue for the Rams Draft Experience and is anticipated to host more than 2,000 local youth for football-related activities."

The field continues a team tradition of incorporating the beach into the Rams' draft process dating back to 2021 when the franchise transformed a Malibu beach house into their draft headquarters.

The team is bringing back the "Draft House" this year with a 9,150 square-foot contemporary estate in Hermosa Beach to serve as general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay's draft headquarters starting Thursday.

Now all the team needs is Tom Cruise and One Republic to recreate the iconic beach football scene from "Top Gun: Maverick."
