Rams’ final St. Louis game ever? The Dome is not exactly packed
Minutes prior to kickoff at the Edward Jones Dome, home of the St. Louis Rams, in the final home game of the season, attendance was a bit … um … sparse. And let’s just say we don’t expect this to be a late-arriving crowd.

By now you’ve likely heard: The Rams could be bolting for Los Angeles, as soon as next season. Word has traveled to Missouri.
Will the Rams stay? Will they go? No one truly knows yet, because even if Rams owner Stan Kroenke is as motivated as he appears to be to move the team west, he still has some hoops to jump through to get this thing done. It’s also a bad look for the league that — despite tonight’s attendance — the city of St. Louis has by far the best local solution to keeping the team of the franchises, including the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders, in the mix to be potentially on the move.
But still … hard to blame folks for staying home Thursday night in a game that means very little outside of symbolism.
That said, there’s a Blues game across town! And the Blues are good this season, at 18-10-2. So that’s it. Fans are watching hockey.
But, hey! You know who is not watching hockey? ICE CUBE AND KEVIN HART, THAT’S WHO.
