Rams Vision for Dome could cost $700 Million
When
the Rams' plan for upgrading the Edward Jones Dome
finally went public Monday, the gap between the team's
vision and that of the agency in charge of the building
became clear. The Rams, not surprisingly, are calling
for a more drastic — and expensive — renovation of the
Dome than the St. Louis Convention and Visitors
Commission. A top aide to Mayor Francis Slay left no
doubt how the plan would be received. For starters, the
Rams' proposal would cost more than $700 million,
compared to the CVC's $124 million proposal, said Jeff
Rainford, Slay's chief of staff. And the construction
involved would cost some big downtown conventions,
bleeding an additional $500 million from the local
economy, he said.
