the business journal had an article up this afternoon...obviously the article upset some folks because now the journal has taken down the story...but it was up long enough for people to get the info...

pretty damning stuff for st Louis

so much so that not only has the original business journal article been taken down, the only stories about this coming out of st Louis omit some extremely damning info...

such as : "Twenty-eight percent of current premium buyers said they would not follow through on purchases. That group represents $95 million in license revenue, according to the study. Sixty-three percent of current occasional ticket buyers would not follow through on purchases. And 29 percent of season ticket holders would not follow through."


"The Rams rank in the bottom third of the NFL in terms of average season ticket price (22nd) and average club seat price (28th),and have the fourth lowest average attendance in the NFL over the past five(5) years."

oh.... the article has been deleted, but the link to a pdf of the market findings is still active
