But he plans to built them a new stadium. That’s quite a gift for an unaffiliated city.

Yup. Sperling showed how to turn a $600 million team into a $2 billion team. Missouri has been slow to react, as this has been brewing for years, and the Jones Dome is no where near the top 25% of venues promised in the agreement by ANY measure. I am a Rams fan, but Frontiere and Kroenke "took" Mo. last time, and the NFL okayed it in exchange for a payoff penalty.

The luxury suites in the new stadium alone will mean a huge bump in revenue, and the high profile location will help the team attract free agents.
