Ram fans in St. Louis

[JackKirbyFan]

Curious to know if there are still many St. Louis Rams fans on these boards and still cheering and pulling for the Rams. Also, are there many Rams fans in St. Louis and the surrounding communities still fans who get together and watch the games? I recall reading in the Los Angeles Times about a group of friends in Illinois who used to leave their homes in an RV at 5 in the morn to arrive in time to tailgate at the Edward Jones Dome before the big games. Are they still Ram fans? Do they make the trip to Los Angeles to watch the team in person?

Please LMK.

Thanks SLR - Ram fan since Harland Svare was their coach and remained a die-hard fan while the team was based in the Midwest.

Although I live in Alaska I grew up in STL and became a real fan when Vermeil was hired. The 2000 team was something else. Now we have another chance at a magical year.

Yea it’s definitely a lot of us that still root for the team and get together every Sunday to watch them play.

 

[Big Game]

yes sir.. me and my Buddies make one trip a Year out to LA to attend a game. This year we going to Chicago and New Orleans for the Game. Last year we went to the season opener vs Indy and also the Titian game.

If I know who you are talking about it was actually a group of people a couple hours into Illinois who took the Rams bus down to tailgate. And no, I don't think they are fans anymore last I heard. But there are still a scattered amount of us local fans throughout Missouri and Illinois. Definitely a minority at this point lol. Most people I know who were Rams fans simply stopped watching the NFL or rooting for a team in general.

Yep still around. But I am a bad example since I have been a Rams fan from the age of five or six. 58 now. Use to post quite often on several boards but the taint of St Louis on you seems to call in to question whether you are a real fan or not. Not here, but elsewhere. Will remain a Rams fan till they shovel dirt over me.

I am still a fan. I know a few people who are still fans. I honestly could not imagine rooting for another team. If you see a Jeep driving around with LA Ramz as the license plate, that is me. Feel free to honk or flip me off, whichever..ha

I consider myself a St Louis Rams fan - even though I haven't lived in the Lou since 2005. Most of my friends and family back in STL have jumped ship. I think they could have handled the move, but the way that it was handled I think stung - possibly unnecessarily so.

I still follow the Rams, although not quite with the same fervor as when they were here in St. Louis. I feel like I suffered enough through the crappy years (Linehan, Spags) that I can righteously enjoy the teams current success.

I am from STL but now live in Springfield, MO. I still root for them. In this region, there a lot of Chiefs fan. I just cannot root for them. It would be really weird. It was the first NFL team I have rooted for and will be the last. I have said this in other posts, but I can be pissed all I want at Stan, but the contract that STL put out was stupid AF.

We actually have a group that is here in the Ozarks. The Ozark Booster Rams Club

Great to hear there are Still Rams Fans in St Louis despite the move back to LA. Though I hated the Rams owner for trading ED and trying her best to make the Rams a crappy team, It never crossed my mind to NOT be a Ram Fan when they moved to St. Louis. I'm a Ram Fan, not an LA fan.

Still some anger towards ownership but still love my Rams. I tried to watch the Bears but yawn.

It's a Jeep thing

Still here, my weekends are so busy I'm usually just watching the game by late Sunday/Monday night - but I am a little curious what bars Rams fans in St. Louis go to.

I'll always cheer for the mid western teams - so long as they're not playing the Rams.

Per Hall of Fame Owner Dan Reeves: "I had more fun losing with Harland Svare, than I ever had winning with George Allen."

When the Rams left LA for the Lou I tried to disown them. Had been watching them since '69 and was devastated with the move. That was the first year for the Jags and Panthers, so I said fuck it.. I'll be a Jags fan. That lasted all of about 5 minutes. I couldn't stop being a Rams fan.... I'm not wired that way. Same with all other sports teams for me. Rams, Dodgers, Lakers, Kings for life.
