Summer 1999 marks the fourth consecutive year for the St. Louis Rams to train on the WIU campus. The NFL team moved from Los Angeles to St. Louis in 1995. That summer the Rams held training camp at Maryville College in suburban St. Louis. Since 1996, the Rams have selected WIU and Macomb as the summer training site. The Rams summer facilities are located at the north area of the WIU campus off University Drive and include training areas in Brophy Hall, with the NFL training fields just north of Brophy.
