JENN BONEZA WAS THERE FOR THE
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.
JENN: "THIS PRESEASON GAME IS
JUST THE START OF WHAT THE RAMS
AND THE HAWAII TOURISM AUTHORITY
HOPE WILL BE A LONG AND
PROSPEROUS RELATIONSHIP. THE
RAMS SEE IT AS A WAY TO GROW
YET ANOTHER WAY TO LINK THE WEST
COAST WITH
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS."
FRESH OFF THEIR SHOWING IN SUPER
BOWL 53, THE RAMS KICK OFF A NEW
VENTURE HERE IN THE ISLANDS.

IN TOWN FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT
KEVIN DEMOFF, PRESIDENT & COO
LOS ANGELES RAMS: "WE CAN'T WAIT
FOR THIS NFC DIVISIONAL REMATCH,
HOPEFULLY IT GOES THE
SAME WAY THAT IT DID TWO MONTHS
AGO AS IT DID BACK IN JANUARY."
THEIR GOAL, TO MAKE HAWAII RAMS
NATION
KEVIN: "ITS REALLY A CHANCE TO
CONNECT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF A
TIME DURING TRAINING CAMP AND
PRESEASON AND MAYBE REACH OUT
THAT 10 YEARS OLD BOY, FALL IN
LOVE AND MAKE THEM RAMS FANS."
I'M TOLD THE BIGGEST BENEFIT
STRUCK WITH THE RAMS IS THE WAY
THEY PLAN TO GET INVOLVED IN THE
COMMUNITY
CHRIS TATUM, HTA: "THE RAMS ARE
SO OPEN FOR DOING MORE THINGS
WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THEY WERE
THE ONES WHO WERE SAYING
THEY COULD DO CLINICS AND OPEN
PRACTICE AND THE INTERACTIONS SO
WE WERE SO EXCITED."
DARREN HERNANDEZ, KAPOLEI
FOOTBALL HEAD COACH: " I THINK
IS AWESOME FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE.
I THINK THAT WHENEVER A TEAM OF
THIS
STATURE COMES THE NFL IF IT'S AN
NBA TEAM. IF THEY INVOLVE THE
COMMUNITY AND THE KIDS, THAT'S
WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT."
JENN: " I'M TOLD THE GAME WILL
AIR LIVE ON LOCAL TV. FROM THE
HAWAII CONVENTION CENTER IM JENN
BONEZA KHON2 NEWS."
MARISA:
WITH THE NEW PRESEASON DEAL WITH
THE RAMS. COULD WE POSSIBLY GET
THE PROBOWL BACK IN HAWAII?
CHRIS TATUM, HAWAII TOURSIM
AUTHORITY: " THE NFL HASN'T
APPROACHED US AND KEVIN AND I
WERE TALKING ABOUT KIND OF
THE WHOLE GAME AND OBVIOUSLY WE
HAVE A LOT OF HISTORY WITH THE
PROBOWL AND WE'D BE OPEN TO
DISCUSSING WITH THE NFL ABOUT
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE."
MARISA:
THE HOPE IS THAT --- THIS DEAL
GAMES IN THE FUTURE. INCLUDING
POSSIBLY A REGULAR SEASON GAME.
