McCaskill Gives Rams Tickets to Students

From the press release:

Unable to sellout a full stadium, the St. Louis Rams and their fans faced the possibility of not having their kickoff game for the 2006-7 season televised. A big Rams fan, U.S. Senate Candidate Claire McCaskill stepped in and bought the 100 remaining tickets, ensuring that all of St. Louis would be able to enjoy the first game of the season.

Earlier today, McCaskill raffled off 90 tickets to the Clyde C. Miller Career Academy to reward those students for having the highest attendance rate in the St. Louis Public School system and she will also give 10 tickets to George Washington Carver House, a crisis intervention center serving youth and their families.

“This is a great opportunity to reward students for working hard to get the most out of their education and allow Rams fans to see their home team kick-off the season,” McCaskill said.
