It's a good year to be a St. Louis sports fan - the Cardinals are flying high, there are reasons to be optimistic about the Rams, and the Blues, well that's a different story, but after making the playoffs for 25 straight years, they were due for a bad season.
The bizarre but also successful Mike Martz era is officially over for the Rams, as new head coach Scott Linehan steps in. And after a 6-10 record last year, the team is probably looking forward to a fresh start. Most of the same pieces are back including quarterback Marc Bulger, receivers Torry Holt and Issac Bruce, and running backs Steven Jackson and Marshall Faulk. And with the Rams taking care of some defensive needs in the draft, this team figures to contend for the playoffs. So if you don't already have your Rams football tickets, maybe it's time you got some. The 2006 schedule kicks off with a chance to see the Indianapolis Colts and Peyton Manning in a pre-season game before the regular season gets underway on September 10 against the Denver Broncos. Some of the other highlights for Rams ticket holders include an October 15 battle against the NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks, a big game against the Kansas City Chiefs on November 5, a Monday Night Football game against the Chicago Bears and a Christmas Eve match-up against the Washington Redskins. So don't wait until the last minute to get your St. Louis Rams football tickets this year.
As if going out to see the new Busch Stadium isn’t reason enough to buy St. Louis Cardinals baseball tickets this year, perhaps you've heard of a guy named Albert Pujols, who could go down in history as one of the greatest players ever to step on the diamond. And if not for an injury earlier this season, he'd be chasing Barry Bonds single-season home run mark. So get your Cardinals tickets and head out to Busch Stadium to see the Redbirds take on the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs and the Houston Astros with newly-signed Roger Clemens. Tony LaRussa's gang has been knocking on the World Series door for several years now, and perhaps this is the year they will finally kick it down. So if you want to be part of history, then you need to get your Cardinals tickets soon and then get ready for playoff tickets and World Series tickets.
So celebrate the fact that you don't live in Kansas City, and show your support for the home teams by getting your St. Louis sports tickets now.
