Immediately following the conclusion of the season, with its championship game played in icy Cleveland before 32,000 fans on December 15, Reeves announced his intention to move his team to sunny southern California, and the league approved the move on January 12, 1946. On January 15, Rams team representatives went before the Los Angeles Coliseum Commission with a plan to lease use of the facility for home games — it was already the home venue for college football for both UCLA and USC of the Pacific Coast Conference. On January 23, the Coliseum Commission approved use of the 103,000-seat stadium for Rams' Sunday home games during the 1946 season.
