The Rams and the St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission are set to place "renovations of the Edward Jones Dome in the hands of three arbitrators." The CVC voted yesterday "to begin the arbitration process," as the CVC and Rams had until today "to reach a deal on renovating the Dome or head into binding arbitration." If the CVC "doesn't agree to renovations that the arbitrators say are required, the Rams would be free to terminate the lease after the 2014 season" (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, 6/15).

FS San Diego has launched a marketing campaign aimed at Time Warner Cable, one of the area's biggest cable operators. TWC has not reached an agreement with Fox to carry the channel, which launched at the beginning of the MLB season. Using the campaign theme of "Our Home. Our City.," Fox Sports bought ad time in print (the San Diego Union-Tribune and the North County Times), radio and mobile digital billboards. Fox also is employing street teams and staging public events. The network would not say how much the campaign costs, only calling the cost "significant."

"We want to remind Padres fans that they have choices if they are being blacked out and can't see the games," said FS San Diego Senior VP & GM Henry Ford. "At the end of the day, we're hoping Time Warner Cable values San Diego sports as they clearly seem to value sports in other markets, including Los Angeles."

The College World Series begins today in Omaha, marking the second CWS played at TD Ameritrade Park, and the City Planning Department reports that vendor permits around the event are up from 46 last year to 70 this year.

All temporary vendors "must be within the 1,000-foot radius" around the venue established by the NCAA and the city has a "clean zone to help regulate liquor sales and commercial activity" (OMAHA WORLD-HERALD, 6/15).

Seattle's Occidental Park last night hosted a two-hour rally organized by hedge fund manager Chris Hansen, the lead financier behind the plan to build an NBA-ready arena in the Sodo District. The crowd was "estimated by Hansen's group at 6,000 – and by others at 2,000 to 3,000." Over the course of the event, a "steady stream of former Sonics took the stage, as well as politicians who support the proposal." King County Exec Dow Constantine "told the crowd that the proposal is the best the area will ever get to bring back the NBA and possibly lure an NHL team" (SEATTLE TIMES, 6/15).

The U.S. track & field uniforms for the London Games were unveiled last night in N.Y., and manufacturer Nike said that the gear "could shave up to 0.023 seconds off 100-meter sprint times." One of the distinguishing features of the uniforms is that they have "dimples that mimic a golf ball." Nike "studied the aerodynamics of golf balls and found the textures and dimples make it more efficient." Patterned patches "are on the forearm and leg, the fastest-moving parts of the body" (AP, 6/15).

The process of reselling tickets for the London Games is "open again after it failed to work properly in January." People with "unwanted tickets can now inform" LOCOG via their Ticketmaster-run ticketing website. Unlike in the original process, "tickets will not be offered back for sale immediately but will be held until they can be offered in batches" on a sport-by-sport basis (BBC.co.uk, 6/14). LOCOG this morning released a new batch of about 50,000 tickets for general sale, including 25,000 field hockey tickets as well as "seats for diving, handball, modern pentathlon, water polo, basketball and the Orbit Tower" (UKPA, 6/15).

We now let the fans vote, so I don’t have anything to do with that … (so) maybe next year.” Fallon said the new “Madden” version “comes out every year” and that “every human has to own this. I’m the best at this. I just can’t play real football.” Fallon played Revis, with both players using the Jets. After he threw a long touchdown pass using Jets QB Tim Tebow, Fallon said, “Tebow’s ‘Tebowing’ too.” Looman said of the additions to the game play, “Biggest change we’ve ever made, so huge year for ‘Madden’” (“Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,” NBC, 6/15).

Dodgers CF Matt Kemp appeared on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night and host Jimmy Kimmel said he was the “best hitter on the best team in baseball.” Kemp said his injured hamstring “feels great” and said of watching games from the bench, “I hate being a cheerleader.” Kemp: “I hate watching baseball. I love to play baseball, but I hate watching it.” Kimmel noted the Dodgers have been “playing well without you. Does that bother you?” Kemp said laughing, “They have been. Maybe I should just stay on the disabled list, let them keep doing their thing.” Kimmel said of Kemp’s eight-year, $160M contract, “It’s a weird thing. When you’re an athlete, everyone knows how much money you make.” Kemp: “That’s messed up, man.” Kimmel said when your agent says, "‘Okay, this is the deal,’ what goes through your head at that time?” Kemp: “Most of the agents are like, ‘That’s not enough. We need more,’ and I was like, ‘Uhhh, I think I can live with a $160 million.’ That happened all so fast. They came with that deal and I signed it. I love L.A.” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 6/14).

Oklahoma City is hosting the Finals for the first time and not only is this the greatest moment in the history of Oklahoma professional sports, this is the only great moment in the history of Oklahoma professional sports. The Thunder did go to the finals three times back when they were known as the Seattle SuperSonics. They moved and renamed Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008. The new owners were looking for a name that would bring to mind a women’s indoor soccer team and they did get it” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live! Game Night,” ABC, 6/14).

In his monologue during the late-night edition of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night, Kimmel said, “The U.S. Open golf championship teed off today in San Francisco.
