The Fleur de Lis

This weekend the Rams -- remember the Rams? They kinda "play football" -- will host (and by "host" we're putting our money on "won't cover the point spread") the team that has a Fleur de Lis on the side of their helmet, the New Orleans Saints. The observant amongst you might be thinking "Hey, that's our symbol" with it being on display so frequently around the St. Louis area. Well, Clem, that probably has something to do with our cities' common French heritage, being part of the Louisiana purchase and all. RFT Photo Intern Savannah Dodd took a tour of the town, snapping shots of the Fleur de Lis whereever she encountered them. Enjoy.

Rams Season Opener Tailgate Party

Despite a recent study concluding that the St. Louis Ram's are the nation's least popular team, these devoted fans showed up to give their support before the game. There was plenty of beer, food and fun, which helped take the sting out of the Ram's season opener that followed. Photos by Steve Truesdell.

Real Madrid vs. Inter Milan at the Edward Jones Dome

The Spanish giants beat Italian side Inter Milan on Saturday, August 10, 2013 in front of a reported crowd of 54,000 at the Edward Jones Dome. Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo played the first half, scoring a tidy goal in the 38th minute, marking the second for Madrid and the best-looking goal of the pre-season match, which ended 3-0. Here are photos of the tail-gating, the fans (far more Real Madrid than Inter), a few fans who ran on the field, St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, and of course, the game.

The Crazy, Drenched Fans of One Direction

An afternoon downpour didn't stop One Direction fans from lining up early at the Edward Jones Dome on August 27, 2014. The crowd of mostly teenage girls and their parents brought their boldest signs and wore their most attention-getting 1D gear in hopes of nabbing a look from Harry, Zayn, Liam, Niall and Louis during the show. Then again, that's what makes them beautiful, as the lads sing. Jamie Scott opened the evening.

The Hungriest Fans at the 2014 Rams Home Opener

Football fans were starving for a win at the St. Louis Rams' home opener on September 7, 2014. Tailgating near the Edward Jones Dome downtown, Rams supporters served up pork, hot dogs and plenty of beer before heading into the Dome. Fans ultimately would go home with empty bellies and broken hearts, though; the Rams lost 34-6 to the Minnesota Vikings.
