Local TV Blackouts
In the 2009 season, the Rams had three regular season games blacked out on local television. After selling out their first 5 games, attendance began to drop and the Rams couldn't sell out their final 3 games against the Seahawks, Texans, and 49ers. In all of these instances, the Rams fell well short of a sellout and didn’t even ask for a deadline extension from the NFL to try to sell the remaining tickets and avert a blackout. Since 2007, the Rams have only won two games at the Edward Jones Dome.
