about these questions/suggestions I posed for Demoff? I wanted to see what you folks thought, but I know we're not supposed to comment in the Demoff threads. Here's my list of questions:
Hi Kevin, thanks for all the time and effort you put into connecting with the fans of the Rams worldwide and the STL community. I have 4 questions:
1. I know the NEW stadium in STL is 10-20 years out, but I heard you raising the hypothetical dome or outdoor question to the season tix holders. My question is, why not do something like AZ or INDY has and do the retractable roof? The best of both worlds if you ask me. Is that a consideration?
2. I am a Ram fan who has a great appreciation for the historic players, coaches, and moments in franchise history. I enjoy seeing the division, conference, and championship titles hanging in the rafters as well as the retired numbers. One thing I wish the Ed had was a statue or two or three. Could that be a possibility at a future stadium? I can just imagine a larger than life statue of Deacon coming to rip a QBs head off or Marshall Faulk juking his way for 6. A consideration in the future?
3. Since you have been working in STL one of your main goals has been to improve the FAN EXPERIENCE in the dome and find ways to make the dome unique and give the fans something to be proud of. One of the great Rams traditions during the GSOT and through 2006-07 were the yellow foam sticks (our version of the terrible towel) and the "Bang the drum all day" song after TDs ( ). I know the latter is also a Green Bay tradition, but we fans in STL LOVED it! Other teams have adopted the Ravens "woooo ohh oohhh ohhh" chant. PLEASE BRING THESE TRADITIONS BACK!!!
4. What is the process for retiring a Rams #? Is this discussed on an annual basis? Do people vote within the organization? I understand that Deacon, Marshall, and Isaac were quite easy decisions, but what about a guy like Torry "Biggame" Holt? Is this a possibility in the future? I know his number isn't retired, but the Rams seem to have made an effort to steer WRs away from the number (with exceptions of Gilyard and Spach). How about Steven Jackson?
