According to Fox Sports Midwest, the May 29th pregame and game were among the most-watched this season on FOX Sports Midwest, with a peak of 90,000 viewers who watched the pregame show from Fort Leonard Wood and 518,000 viewers who watched the game.
According to data courtesy of Nielsen Media, it was the highest-rated program of the night on TV in St. Louis, said Geoff Goldman, Fox Sports Midwest media relations.
"FOX Sports Midwest has produced special "This One's For You" games on American Forces Network going back to 2005.
"Bringing our broadcast to Fort Leonard Wood on May 29th was a way to feature a great Army facility here in the heart of Cardinals Nation," said David Pokorny, Fox Sports Midwest marketing director.
"Fort Leonard Wood helped with critical logistics and contributed in many other ways. The enthusiasm of Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors was impressive as a light rain did little to diminish the outside pre-game features, the presentation of the colors and a very patriotic national anthem. We received many thanks and best wishes from viewers watching in the Midwest and from military personnel around the world watching on AFN," added Pokorny.
