Last week, the city council of Inglewood, Calif., approved a plan for a $2 billion, 80,000-seat football stadium on 60 acres that would allow the Rams to return to the Los Angeles area.
The city of St. Louis has no intentions of being left out in the cold — and submitted a proposal for a beautiful riverfront stadium.
Here’s a look at a potential $1 billion riverfront stadium in St. Louis, which could serve as home to the Rams — or even the Raiders or another NFL franchise, depending on what happens in L.A.
Peter King at The MMQB explained the thought process behind the new stadium:
According to King, “For years the Rams tried to get a better stadium than the Edward Jones Dome, and the franchise was rebuffed because of the immense cost. But now, faced with losing the Rams, the state and city are working double-time to come up with a solution that — if nothing else — would make it difficult for 24 owners to vote in favor of the Rams returning to Los Angeles,” hence the release of these renderings.
