The St. Louis Rams will play the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, October 11, 2009 at noon. The game will be held at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis , Missouri . The Edward Jones Dome, completed in 1995, can hold almost 67,000 screaming fans and has been the site of many a concert and football game.
The St. Louis Rams finished their 2008 season with a 2-14 record after starting the season 0-4 and firing the head coach. Despite this dismal season record, there were some bright spots. For instance, St. Louis Rams safety, O.J. Atogwe, had 5 interceptions, 83 tackles, and 6 forced fumbles. This led him to earn the St. Louis Rams team MVP award. Additionally, St. Louis Rams wide receiver Donnie Avery caught 53 passes for 674 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns. He lived up to his billing as the top wide receiver of the 2008 NFL draft. His performance during this rookie season was honored with a St. Louis Rams Rookie of the Year award.
Minnesota Vikings fans know that a game against the St. Louis Rams at this point in the season may be a great chance to build up an early winning record. In 2008, the Minnesota Vikings ended the season with a 10-6 record and also won the NFC North title. Though they lost in a wild card game to the Philadelphia Eagles (26-14), they still played well and should be developing into a strong force for 2009. Yet St. Louis Rams fans are betting that the change in coaches may bring better results than in 2008. If you'd like to see the game live, make sure to purchase Minnesota Vikings tickets soon.
