Despite the fact that the Rams left St. Louis for Los Angeles there will be at least one football game played downtown inside Edwards Jones Dome. Former St. Louis Rams wide receiver Isaac Bruce is hosting a flag football game featuring members from “Greatest Show On Turf” era Kurt Warner, Orlando Pace, Ernie Conwell as well as coaches Dick Vermeil and Mike Martz.
The event takes place on July 23rd with the kickoff at 2:00 PM. The gates opening up at 12:30 PM. There will be a pre-game autograph session for premium ticket holders from 11:00 AM- 12 noon. Tickets go on sale on April 21st at 10:00 AM at www.ticketmaster.com. Individual tickets are priced at $15 and $20. Premium tickets which includes on field autograph sessions limited to 1,000 tickets are going for $100.
I’m glad that this event is taking place despite everything that has transpired over the last year. And it’s always good to see when an athlete of any sport come back to St. Louis and continue to contribute to the community – which is nothing new for Isaac Bruce. He has always made it a point to give back to St. Louis community. And that’s just as commendable as his Hall Of Fame career as member of the Rams while they were in St. Louis. Bruce started his foundation in 2006 which put an emphasis on health, wellness, nutrition, fitness and education.
“We’re excited about being able to bring together a bunch of the Greatest Show on Turf guys and other Rams greats to be able to thank the incredible support over the years,” Bruce said about the game. “We want to fill the dome up one more time and really show what an incredible sports city St. Louis is. We have the opportunity to raise a lot of money for Isaac Bruce Foundation – which we can then pour back into this great city and it’s real exciting.”
Excitement about the game is already underway from Rams on Twitter. One fan named Lezlie is planning on driving all the way up from Springfield, Missouri. Lezlie plans to bring four others along for the ride.
Another fan Terry said, “I’ll be there! Last chance to tailgate and see our St. Louis Ram heroes.”
