St. Louis submitted their plans for a new stadium for the Rams to the NFL a day early before the December 30th deadline for last-ditch financial plans.

St. Louis did their part on submitting a proposal for a new stadium for the St. Louis Rams ahead of the NFL’s December 30th deadline for a last-ditch effort to finance plans for an updated stadium in St. Louis.

This proposal comes a day early and will likely echo the sentiment of what the St. Louis Board of Alderman proposed a month ago: $15o million from the city, along with financial contributions from the State of Missouri, as well as $100 million from the NFL.

Rams owner Stan Kroenke has a proponent of relocating the Rams to Los Angeles, but will need 24 of the league’s 32 majority owners to allow him to move the Rams back to Los Angeles. Kroenke does have a clause with the city of St. Louis that he can relocate the team if he does not have an above average facility. The Edward Jones Dome is the only stadium in the NFL to not have the team colors incorporated into the seating.

Kroenke is a St. Louis native and is named after two St. Louis Cardinal greats: Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter. However the NFL is big business when it comes to sports and St. Louis could lose its second NFL team in the last thirty years. The St. Louis Football Cardinals now play in the desert in Glendale, Arizona as the Arizona Cardinals.

It seems that St. Louis, Missouri wants to keep its NFL team in the Show Me State. There’s more cooperation within the city, the state, and the league to help finance Kroenke a new stadium deal in the Arch City. The Rams won their only Super Bowl to date with The Greatest Show on Turf in Super Bowl XXXIV, but have not made the NFC Playoffs since 2004.
