Name The St. Louis Rams Mascot

The St. Louis Rams will have a new mascot for the upcoming 2010 NFL season. The Rams are letting the Rams fans decide the name of the mascot by voting on their website. The five finalist are Archie, Rammer, Rampage, Ramsey and Rush. The winning name for the mascot will be announced at the St. Louis Zoo’s South Entrance at 11am on Monday July 26th.

The Rams say the mascot will make more than 300 appearances a year, from charity events to parties. Although adding a mascot is additional entertainment added by the Rams I don't expect the mascot to have the same impact as he could at a baseball or hockey game. The Rams who were recently ranked by ESPN 114th out of 122 professional franchises in Stadium Experience (Quality of arena and game-day promotions as well as friendliness of environment) are trying whatever they can to increase the fan experience. Overall the new mascot is a nice touch but ticket prices have forced most from bringing children to the game. I would prefer the Rams to improve the game day experience with improved sound, pre game introductions, fireworks, and by having a better overall product on the field.
