Raise The Roof: Details Emerge From Rams' Dome Proposal

The Rams' counter-offer to the St. Louis Convention & Visitor’s Commission to upgrade Edward Jones Dome involves “tearing out the current roof on the dome and installing a retractable roof,” according to sources cited by Charles Jaco of KTVI-Fox. Construction experts said that “putting in such a roof would be almost impossible without major structural changes to the dome building itself, very expensive changes.” Sources said that they “don’t know how much this would actually cost, since the Rams did not include any cost estimates in their proposal.” The official proposal will be revealed Monday, when Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster “will make all the details public, thanks to a state Sunshine Law request made by Fox.” If the CVC "rejects the proposal, which is pretty likely,” both sides will go to arbitration June 15 (FOX2NOW.com, 5/9).
