Rams Impose 8pm Curfew Ahead of Historic NFL Clash at the MCG
The NFL's first regular-season game in Australia kicks off at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers arriving to a country that mostly calls the sport 'gridiron.' The Rams have imposed a strict 8pm curfew and reportedly grumbled about their Qantas charter, while the 49ers' Australian fanbase treats the visit as a pilgrimage. Kickoff lands in a timeslot that will have American audiences watching at breakfast.
