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.

STL stadium was never going to make it because the city “leaders” wouldn’t allow enough land to be used for the required parking alone. Would have been much better if it had been built in the COUNTY where the space for a great venue was available and accessible. But, another bad decision on the part of STL.
