To some, a football field is merely a 120 x 53.3- yard plot of grass. But to those who play the sport, it’s much more. It’s where kids grow up, learn valuable lessons and make lifelong friends. It’s a place the outside world can’t touch and kids can leave their worries behind and just be kids. For the Boys and Girls Club of Greater St. Louis – Herbert Hoover location, it’s a dream come true.
For the first time in its seven year history, the St. Louis Rams’ annual community improvement project was not a playground build. Instead, the organization refurbished the local Boys & Girls Club’s football field.
