We’ve already seen how energized St. Louis is to have a football team again. After losing the NFL Cardinals to Arizona in the late 80s, and the Rams to LA in 2016 their fans are pouring out in droves to support their new team because St. Louis is a football kind of town.
There have been calls for the Dome to open up more seating as ticket demand has skyrocketed, and they might be forced to start populating the upper decks. Even if they just opened it up to arena seating, they could fit 40,000 fans. That could easily be filled and they have the ability to open the stands up to 67,000 at maximum capacity.
St. Louis Fans are hungry for football, and our very own Marcus Hampton was in the crowd.
Apparently they’re hungry for beer too.
