Orlando Pace, Pro Bowl offensive tackle and anchor of the St. Louis Rams' offensive line, has reserved a large party room at the St. Louis Sports Zone for a Super Bowl party he plans to host for the 2007 championship game. It is Pace's turn to host the party this season, and he made sure to get the space booked sooner than later to ensure that he would be able to have the event without complications.
Pace, in making his reservations, stated that he wanted to make sure that there was plenty of food and beverages, since he would be bringing in members of his team, mostly linemen. Party Reservations Specialist Roscoe Johnson relayed the story of Pace's reservation phone call, recalling that "Orlando was very particular about what he wanted for this event. First class all the way. We have done events for Orlando in the past, and he is a great customer who we have built an excellent relationship with."
When getting the details for the party, Johnson did ask Pace why he would be making reservations for a party on the night of the Super Bowl, to which Pace responded, "To watch the Super Bowl of course." Johnson wondered out loud to Pace what would happen if the Rams were in the Super Bowl, to which he received raucous laughter in return over the phone. After twenty to thirty seconds of belly-busting laughter from Pace, Johnson could hear Pace saying to others present in the room on the other end of the line, "He asked if we were going to be in the Super Bowl!" In response, what sounded like a room full of approximately fifty men broke into hysterics. In the commotion, Pace said to Johnson, "Man, you're all right. Thanks for the laughs! Just make sure the party is set up the way I asked." Sources later revealed that the phone call to the Sports Zone was made from the Rams' Earth City training camp locker room.
