RAM OFFICIAL TOURS CITY

Southeast Missouri State University received an official visit from a representative of the St. Louis Rams on Thursday in response to the school's bid as a site for the team's summer training.

Southeast Athletic Director Dr. Richard McDuffie and Cape Girardeau Chamber of Commerce President John Mehner conducted a tour of the city and athletic and university facilities.

"I thought the visit went very well," said McDuffie. "We are in a large group of institutions being considered for the preseason camp of the Rams. We expect a decision from the Rams in the next two to three weeks."

A contingent of Rams officials also visited Parks College and the Pipefitters Union Local 562, both in St. Louis, on Thursday. According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Parks College is the front runner for the summer training site.

Rams officials are also expected to visit the facilities at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
