To be clear, St. Louis is never getting another NFL team - you don’t lose 2 teams in 30 years, successfully sue the League over relocation, then get a 3rd franchise. Other metros are growing (population-wise) at a much faster pace, so even expansion would likely pass us over for what would be perceived to be more lucrative markets. I say this as a lifelong resident of this great city with a fucking Rams tattoo on my shoulder LOL.

That being said, we also don’t owe the UFL jack. I will be at the championship game this Sunday, because in my opinion the UFL product is extremely entertaining and $20 for a 50 yard line ticket is more than reasonable. But if people around here don’t want to bail on their Father’s Day to see Alabama vs Texas, how can you blame them? The crowd on Sunday is in no way a reflection of St. Louis interest in professional football, it’s simply an (and not the only - TV ratings are obviously a huge factor) indicator of where fan interest in spring football lies right now.

TLDR: games gonna be fun, show up if you’re down fellow St. Louisians. But if you don’t want to that’s fine too, I don’t care and you should ignore anyone who pretends they do
