Federal arbitrators ruled in favor of the St. Louis Rams' proposal to upgrade the Edward Jones Dome. But with the St. Louis CVC expected to reject that plan, the reality of the Rams playing in Maryland Heights is getting more consideration.
With federal arbitrators ruling in favor of the St. Louis Rams' renovation plan for the Edward Jones Dome, focus has already started to shift to the possibility of a new stadium, the St. Louis Post-Disatch reports. Where would that new stadium go? One plan is calling for it to be built in a large area of farmland in Maryland Heights along Highway 141 near Interstate 70. Increasing speculation that the Rams could move to somewhere other than the City of St. Louis is a report from ESPN, which says an attorney for the agency that runs the home of the St. Louis Rams says it is unlikely it will implement the team's plan to upgrade the Edward Jones Dome. According to that report, the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission has 30 days from…

The St. Louis Rams playing their home games in Maryland Heights would clearly mean arbitrators decided on their own plan. That scenario, however, remains unlikely.
A recent St. Louis Post-Dispatch report dissected the St. Louis Rams' options when it came to the team's playing facility as the organization neared an arbitration process that will determine the team's fate. Among three potential areas to build a new stadium? Farmland in Maryland Heights in the vacinity of the Page Avenue extension. From the report: The three sites have long been discussed as possible homes for a new stadium — maybe even one for the Rams. The team and the public agency that runs the Dome, the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission, have been at a stalemate for months over renovations required by the team’s 30-year lease. Monday, three arbitrators will begin to hammer out answers. They will choose between three …

The St. Louis Rams have outlined a renovation plan for the Edward Jones Dome that is estimated to cost $700 million.
The Rams want us to buy them a new house. Just fixing up its current home—the Edward Jones Dome—won't do. Instead, the St. Louis football franchise expects an extreme makeover, to the tune of $700 million, as it is estimated by a company hired by the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission (CVC) to analyze the team's counter proposal to a the CVC's own plan to upgrade the Edward Jones Dome with a $124 million facelift. If someone doesn't cough up the $700 mil to redo the Dome, it is feared the team will take its football and go home to Los Angeles, where it came from before it was the St. Louis franchise. All of this wrangling was set in motion in 1995 when the team negotiated a 30-year lease with the CVC. It was stipulated that the …
