"We thought we had the best facility," Wisslead said. "We had everything the Rams could need and the university has put on a good program."
The list for training camp hosts has been narrowed down to two, according to the Post Dispatch: Concordia University in Mequon, Wis. and Wisconsin-Whitewater. A decision is expected to be made this week.
Western Illinois University had hosted the Rams for nine years from 1996-2004. Wisslead said he expected the reason the Rams chose to move elsewhere was because they wanted to be close to other teams to scrimmage. He added that he does not believe holding training camp in Wisconsin help the Rams build their fan base.

This is "Breaking News" because Macomb and WESTERN were trying to get the Rams to return to Macomb for their summer training camp. They had been here for 9 years before deciding to move the camp back to the St Louis area. (Continued…)
