LOS ANGELES — The Rams got the response they craved when the franchise began taking deposits Monday for season tickets for its first season back in Los Angeles.

The team reported heavy traffic on a website set up to take $100 refundable deposits for the chance to buy tickets when they become available later this year. The Rams declined to say exactly how many deposits they had taken, but team spokesman Artis Twyman said they were very pleased by the numbers.

The Rams’ first deposit came from Lakers great and Dodgers co-owner Magic Johnson, who has already announced his intention to buy a suite in the Rams’ lavish Inglewood stadium slated to open in 2019.

“I got my (at)RamsNFL season tickets!” Johnson said in a post on his Twitter account. “I’m so excited and can’t wait to see OUR team next season!”

The Rams will play next season at the Coliseum.
