MY BUSCH STADIUM FAVORITES PART II

On a warm September day in 1995, the St. Louis RAMS made their Home debut at Busch Stadium. They had just come off a road victory at Green Bay. The day was a spectacular early autumn day. Bright and sunny, the day, cooperated with the atmosphere at Busch. Season ticket holders were giddy in anticipation of where their seats were since the Dome wasn't ready yet. We were seated in the sun in high rise bleachers, though since we were fourth row, we weren't too high.
I was so much ready for the NFL having been a semi-regular attendee of the St.Louis Football Cardinals back in the Coryell years of Mel Gray, Dan Dierdorf, Jim Hart, Terry Metcalf, et al. Caroline's boss had season tickets at the press level, which would be where the luxury boxes are now. We were covered, but no enclosure, no food. I remember one Halloween, 1977 I believe, Mr. Lee and I went to watch a Monday Night game and Howard Cosell was on our level about 40 yards from us. Anyway, I'd seen bad NFL football courtesy of Mr. Bidwell. But nothing like the storied RAMS.
It was one of those electric times at the stadium. I don't remember who we beat, but we won. In fact in 1995, the Rams started 4-0. Hope was there, but none of us could imagine what 1999-2001 would bring for the RAMS. All we knew was St. Louis had a real pro team. And tailgating was in vogue.
