Missouri football
One of the best Missouri tourist attractions is football. There are two professional teams in the state, the Rams and the Chiefs which says a lot for a state with as small a population as Missouri has. The teams are on opposite sides of the state which is a good thing as the fans are as rabid as any anywhere. You had best not mention the Rams while in a sports bar in Kansas City, no mention the Chiefs while in a sports bar in St Louis. Most of the middle of the state roots for both teams so they get along nicely but the closer you get to the cities the more one team fans there are. Both teams have excellent stadiums and excellent programs. Curt Warner gave a boost to the Rams when he was recruited from an arena team in Iowa called the Barnstormers. Iowa fans knew what Curt was made of, but St Louis fans were skeptical. Arena football is much faster paced than pro ball and that is what Warner brought to the Rams. The first year he was quarterback he led the team to the final game – you know the one, the one they won’t let you say the name of anymore.
