Recognizing the rich football history of the Rams and the St. Louis Football Cardinals, the St. Louis Rams created a Ring of Fame at the Dome at America’s Center. The ring, displayed inside the Dome, features 13 players who have been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and who played the majority of their careers with the Rams or Cardinals. 10 members of the Rams (Norm Van Brocklin, Eric Dickerson, Tom Fears, Elroy [Crazylegs] Hirsch, David [Deacon] Jones, Tom Mack, Merlin Olsen, Jackie Slater, Bob Waterfield and Jack Youngblood) and three members of the Cardinals (Dan Dierdorf, Jackie Smith, and Larry Wilson) are honored in the Ring of Fame. The Rams and Cardinals players’ names, jersey numbers and seasons of service are on display. All but Slater and Youngblood, 2001 additions to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, were honored in the Dome before the Rams season- opening win over the Baltimore Ravens on September 12, 1999.
