Rams Issue Statement Regarding CVC Proposal For Dome Upgrade

in Edward Jones Dome Lease
Email
PrintThe St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission presented their $124 million plan for upgrades to the Edward Jones Dome to the St. Louis Rams on Wednesday. The proposal represents the first stage in a what figures to be a lengthy, complex negotiation over the Rams' lease on the Dome and their future in the city. Hours after presenting the plan, the Rams responded with a brief statement.
From the team's COO Kevin Demoff, via press release:
We are in receipt of the CVC proposal. The lease provides certain terms, a timeline and a process for this matter. We are reviewing the proposal and look forward to responding accordingly.
That's it. Like the rest of the city, the Rams are seeing the CVC's plans for the first time. Their opinion of the plan will determine their response. The Rams have until March 1 to accept or reject the offer, and a counter proposal is due by May 1. From there, if neither side agrees to the other's offer (hint: they probably won't), they can take it to arbitration, non-binding arbitration, to reconcile the two plans.
How far apart each vision is from the other remains to be seen.

they def didn't start there
The only superbowl win: in STL;
They have as many “NFL Championships” in Cleveland as they did in LA: 1.
Sounds like they’re better off not in LA.

Jags to St Loo...
Once the Rams come back to LA, I’m sure Mr Khan will want to move his new team closer to home …St Louis Jaguars has a nice ring to it. Then Khan can build his.own stadium and make some real money

124 million this is 2012 are they serious? Pujos could remodel The dome by his self and still have a 100 mill left! cvc u gotta do better!

We got Pujols, hope Rams Are next...
I’m sorry you guys lost Pujols, I would be bummed if I was a cards fan but the Angels are my team so I gotta admit, I’m stoked. I live right by their stadium… The same stadium I grew up watching the Rams in, would be nice to get them back too

Wait to see if your stoked when he's 35 overweight, broken down
and your paying him 30 million

He's probably already 35...
He doesn’t look broken down yet…lol
by LARams72 on Feb 2, 2012 12:02 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
And I'm not paying him anything
Unlike football there is no cap in baseball and I used to hate the Yankees because of the endless money they could spend but now that it is my team with bottomless pockets thanks to a 3 billion dollar TV deal, I’m ok with it:)

The way I See it....
If the Rams come back, Cali people will be happy, if the Jags go to the Loo, St Louisia…oh whatever they call themselves there! The only people who will be Shit Out Of Luck will be the 3 Jaguar fans still in Jacksonville….

Im right there with ya buddy
Exams and Med school have taken over my time to comment on these issues recently.
There is no way man
I’m from STL and there’s no WAY anybody wants the Rams there more than I do
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Can't imagine a team that has sucked this much can ask for much more than what they were offered
Thought the CVC offered a fine enough deal. Maybe try for a little more, but not much
Note to Douglas M: Remember that 99% of what I say involves BS

Performance on the football field
is irrelevant in those matters.
"For Better or for Worse; 'Till Death Do Us Part"
GO RAMS !!!
This whole process is backwards and stupid.
Seems to me it would make a hell of a lot more sense if both sides were working together instead if this proposal counter proposal BS.
Oh well I guess we’ll know when they damn well decide to tell us… or when we see the moving vans arrive at Rams Park ; )
This is what they would be doing anyways
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
So if they don't come to an agreement and team has to move
WTF are they going to do with the EJD? Seems like a waste of money if they don’t reach an agreement

It doubles as a convention center
that’s why it’s a Dome

What will happen.
They"ll offer 215 million the rams will except the offer and all of us can take a deep breath and get ready for 2012-2013 season
We might be down now but when we get back up u better move out are way are ul get RAMED!!!

god I hope you're right.
I want STL to host a superbowl in the next 10 years (hope we can make one by then)

I really like some of the ideas...
Love the idea of replacing some of the roof with glass to let in natural light. I would love to have a retractable dome but since that isnt possible this would be the next best option. Also kinda like the idea of the huge screen, thank god it wouldnt be as big as Dallas’s, that is just ridiculous. Hope they can reach some kind of agreement and keep the Rams in STL!!
it's so Jerry Jones can watch porn on an enormously giant screen

Along with these improvements, we will need to continue to push for downtown to be rehabilitated. Love the Rams and STL.

So it's been a 50+ degree swing in weather up here
A couple days ago it was -20 F, Right now it’s 36 F. I hate this place. Why can’t it be like 25, so I can skate and ski.

oh! make that 41 degrees outside now.

awfuly lonely on my island
reading the comments so far not to many people are in favor of it. i happen to think the CVC offered a pretty good starting point. its a lot better than i though it was going to be.
well I honestly don't know how much a stadium remodel would cost, so I can't argue for or against it
just want the rams to stay in STL

So if they move
I’ll now have to watch the games on TV from another city? Do they get to take the arch with them? What about Budweiser? Do they get to take Budweiser with them?

I think the front page looks like is beginning to look like some kind of pervert site. One pic of the masked idiot, fine...
… but to have that sick looking fool ALL over the front page? It’s embarrassing to me as a writer here.
I guess i don't know what you guys are referring to
The front page of TST doesn’t have anything like that when I pull it up.
