During the GSOT era, EVERYBODY was wearing blue and gold.
That's probably because the Cardinals (who are fighting to hold the #1 seed by 2.5 games) ARE PLAYING THE REDS TODAY AT 6:15, and there's 8 games left before the playoffs. Also the Rams starting QB is out for the year, and they got thoroughly embarrassed at home week 1. They have also won 30 games since 2007. Close to an average of 4 wins per season in the past 7 years. Let's not even mention the endless amount of talk about the team moving and the lease situation.
Meanwhile the Cardinals, one of the most storied and renowned baseball franchises in the nation, since 2004 have been to the WS 4 times, won 2, and have been to the playoffs 7 times. Missing a total of 3 attempts in the past 10 years. They also have the 2nd most World Championships at 11 behind the Yankees.

It's also an amazing sports town, and if the Rams can ever put together a winning season they will be rewarded. Expect to see a lot of Dallas fans tomorrow, but if the Rams can compete you will have a blast regardless I guarantee it. It's supposed to be a beautiful day outside. Hopefully when can send you home with a win. Go RAMS!
Costs about as much as it does in Cleveland, for example?
We agree, support is not so great in St Louis. Cost, losing, stadium, and not a football hotbed.
Yep, I'll be with 4 Cowboys fans tomorrow. I told them there'd be a lot. Lol
Get them cheering when homo's on the field. Most away fans are dumb enough to do so anyway. Especially cowgirl fans.
Yeah it is very disheartening, pathetic and said....goes to show that MOST fanbases have fewer REAL fans than most people think , there are a ton of bandwagoners, when things are going great! but when the guano hits the fan???only the REAL fans, like most of you here on this board, will stick around. I live in California, and I always hear about Raider fans and their "raider nation".. Stuuuuupiiiid.....you mean like the thousands of seats covered up at their stadium for like the past ten years??? And the sight of more opposing fans showing up in Choketown...again winning is a wonderful cure to the acute illness called "losing"......btw....Go Dodgers!!!This thread is starting to sound like every " ST. Louis Ram Fan" is and only will be a Fan IF the Rams WIN. I Find that Totally repulsive and unbelievable!! I Don't believe that for one minute!! But a few of you need to be "Bitch Slapped!" Like 'Gibb's does to 'DeNozio' on NCIS!
UMMMM wth would you have to be realistic? lolThat's probably because the Cardinals (who are fighting to hold the #1 seed by 2.5 games) ARE PLAYING THE REDS TODAY AT 6:15, and there's 8 games left before the playoffs.

I don't Blame you my first encounter to STL I experienced the same exact thoughts and a even caught a Cardinals game that first night there. It is a baseball town and you don't see much Rams things or gear anywhere. I can tell you this, on game day I was taken aback by all the game day action and people, stuff outside the dome. Go early and enjoy bro!.
went down to the arch, amazing sight. Saw a couple of guys in rams gear.
Yes, I figured the cards were playing the Reds. Why else would there be so many Reds fans here. I just thought I would see more people with some sort of rams apparel on their body, even just a cap.
Not that I care. it was just weird. Not what I expected at all. Hope we're not outnumbered tomorrow by Cowboys fans.

I go back to the Cofax/Drysdale era myself, as a Dodger Fan. I went to school with Drysdale's Kid Brother, and when he was drafted by the then Brooklyn Dodgers, I got to hold his 1st Baseball glove. It was Cool for a young Fan. But I'm strictly into football these days!Had to throw the dodger comment in there since a lot of you here pull for the cards....
Blaming the losing seasons of the Rams franchise for the lack of support and comparing them to what the Cardinals put out there simply isn't fair. I'm sure the Rams would have that kind of production too if they could spend more money on players than most of the league with no cap. It's hard to give credibility to the argument of the Cardinals being better when they have a leg up on their competition from the start.
A real fan base supports it's team through the good times and the bad. (See Browns fans) I don't care what town it is, it's disrespectful for the players to have to look up into empty seats when they are playing at home. Ever think that the team could probably use the support most during the roughest times?
It's disrespectful to the fans to put out an inferior team for TEN YEARS and then silently threaten to move the team as well. Ever think we could use some reassurance during these stressful times?
So dampen the support of the team because of rumors about moving? Isn't that just giving them a reason to consider it?
Hey, I'm the customer here. You want me to spend the money, give me a reason. I mean, quite a lot of us aren't fairweather fans. I'm here at 9:22am on a message board for a team that my son (age 9) has barely ever seen win. But, at the same time, I'll go all in when they go all in. No matter what the record.
Bandwagon central.This^^^^^^^^^
Couldn't have said it better myself. The Cards are in the thick of a pennant race, so you will see nothing but red downtown. As was stated before, if the Rams win consistently you will see more folks wearing the blue and gold. During the GSOT era, EVERYBODY was wearing blue and gold.
