ST. LOUIS — I arrive at the Edward Jones Dome three hours early, just as a group of beat writers gather at a spot on the front row of the press box for a group picture—quite possibly the last such picture—with the humble interior of a 21-year old stadium as backdrop. After the photo, I ask one of the scribes my burning question: Where’s the best tailgating here?
“Tailgating?” he says, amused. “There’s no tailgating here, unless you count that band across the street with all of four people in the audience.”
The Rams sponsor an outdoor party adjacent to the stadium complete with a cover band and several pop-up bars hawking Captain Morgan and Budweiser products.
