07/28 Equipment and Rams Ticket Updates

Equipment 

Tim Davis, our Equipment Director, has tracked down our helmet order.  We expect to receive the helmets tomorrow and have them available for distribution during practice tomorrow night.  We still have not had success with tracking down our shoulder pad order but our Riddell representative will be at the Illinois factory tomorrow.  If our order has not shipped and is available, he will bring it back to St. Louis tomorrow night.  We don’t expect to have the shoulder pads available tomorrow night but they should be available for next Tuesday. 

Go Tim!!! 

Rams Tickets 

We will be able to purchase additional tickets for the pre-season Ravens game where our players will scrimmage. 

The Bad News:  The two-for-one tickets are no longer available.  The $35 ticket price will only purchase a ticket to the Raven’s pre-season game.  However a ticket is needed if your player plans to participate in the scrimmage. 

The Better News:  The seats will be located near our other purchased seats.  And the $35 price is still about $10 cheaper than purchasing a single ticket for the game. 

The Best News:  While discussing the additional tickets with the Rams’ representative, he mentioned that he had an additional scrimmage opening for 12 year old players (another team was withdrawn).  TCYFA has agreed to fill the slot.  We will have 125 tickets for sale at $35 per ticket.  Each purchase from the 125 will get you a ticket to the Saturday, 08/14, pre-season game against the Minnesota Vikings and a ticket to the Sunday, 09/12, regular season HOME OPENER game against the Arizona Cardinals where our players will scrimmage.  As with the 9 year olds, the 125 tickets will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.  Unlike the 9 year olds, we do not know the sections, rows, or seats for the tickets.  We will only be able to provide a sign up list based on the number of tickets, not specific seats.   

What to do: 

• If you need 9 year old player tickets, please let me know the quantity you will need by the end of practice on Tuesday, August 3rd.  We will place the additional order with the Rams and will be able to pick up the tickets (all games, all tickets) later next week.  We will have a sign-up sheet available at practice starting this Thursday.
• If you would like to purchase a ticket for the 12 year old scrimmage and let us know your player will participate in the scrimmage, we will have another sign-up sheet available for that.  As with the 9 year olds, additional tickets will be available if we sell out of the 125 but the ticket will only be good for the Arizona game.  We will include additional lines on the sign-up sheet so we can order the additional quantity that will be needed.
• We plan to pick up the tickets next week for all of the games (2 games for the 9 year olds and 2 games for the 12 year olds) but to do that, our order has to be placed with the Rams early Wednesday morning. 

See you tomorrow night!
