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.

Famous quotes containing the word local:
“These native villages are as unchanging as the woman in one of their stories. When she was called before a local justice he asked her age. “I have 45 years.” “But,” said the justice, “you were forty-five when you appeared before me two years ago.” “Señor Judge,” she replied proudly, drawing herself to her full height, “I am not of those who are one thing today and another tomorrow!””
