The Los Angeles Rams announced their headquarters for the 2025 NFL Draft will be the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Air Operations. With support from Zillow, the Rams have had a different draft house the last few years, and they are taking it to a new level this year by becoming the first team to ever draft from a fire station.
After the recent L.A. wildfires in the Palisades, Altadena and more, the Rams have shown their commitment to community resilience and honoring the first responders who protect the city they call home. General manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay’s Draft headquarters from April 24-26, will be at LAFD Air Operations, and an adjacent hangar will serve as space for coaches, scouts, team personnel and media who are on-site during the three-day event. LAFD Air Operations will be fully operational during the NFL Draft.
“Drafting from LAFD Air Operations is a powerful reminder of what it means to represent Los Angeles,” said Rams president Kevin Demoff. “Since the wildfires devastated our region in January, we have looked to bring LA Together to help with the recovery efforts, raise the spirits of those impacted, and shine a light on our first responders. We are humbled to partner with LAFD during one of the NFL’s biggest moments to express gratitude for those who risk their lives daily to protect our city.”
“We are incredibly grateful to the Los Angeles Rams for their unwavering support of the Los Angeles City Fire Department and our wildfire-impacted communities. Hosting the NFL Draft at LAFD Air Operations highlights the critical role our Air Operations plays in protecting Los Angeles, especially during wildfire season. The Rams’ generosity—renovating our station and recognizing our firefighters—demonstrates a deep commitment to the city we all serve. We look forward to standing alongside the Rams in this meaningful event,” said Interim Fire Chief Ronnie Villanueva.
“We’re proud to return as a Rams Draft partner for the second year,” said Beverly Jackson, Vice President of Brand and Product Marketing at Zillow. “At Zillow, we know that home is more than just a place — it’s about comfort, safety and a sense of belonging — and this year’s Draft Headquarters is a meaningful reflection of that. We’re grateful to play a small role in recognizing their service.”
The Rams have partnered with Zillow to renovate LAFD Air Operation’s recreation room, creating a more comfortable space that feels like home for firefighters to rest between callouts, during their 24-hour shifts. Recliners for the recreation room will be provided by Rams partner Bob’s Discount Furniture.
Custom LAFD hats, hoodies, and shirts with the L.A. Rams monogram are available for sale at www.RamsFanShop.com and the Rams’ official store, The Equipment Room at SoFi Stadium, with all profits from the sales supporting the LAFD Foundation and American Red Cross.
All three days of the 2025 NFL Draft will be broadcast on NFL Network, ABC, ESPN and ESPN Deportes, including two nights of primetime coverage on Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25.
Will Rams draft a quarterback?
The Rams have met with some quarterbacks leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, but Sean McVay isn’t necessarily expecting them to take one despite Matthew Stafford’s age and uncertain future with the organization.
