St Louis is in the middle of planning a 980 Million Dollar Riverfront Stadium to keep the Rams here rather than letting them move to LA again....and it is noting spectacular at all....It will also host a pro Soccer Team in the off season.

Did the tax payers have to pay for it like they did Steve Balmers stadium? Now he won't even open his books to an audit. Another good liberal!

Rich, estimated cost $1.4 Billion. Now all we need is a winning football team to play in the new stadium.

Well, if is anything like Seattle, they won't worry about that part, they just raise hotel/motel taxes, cab taxes, booze taxes, parking fees and on and on. After all you don't want to deny a billionaire, liberal baby his toys!

Wow, let the taxpayer pay for it. What a unique idea.

Apparently they call out how far open they want it by f-stops.
