The St. Louis Rams have outlined a renovation plan for the Edward Jones Dome that is estimated to cost $700 million.
The Rams want us to buy them a new house. Just fixing up its current home—the Edward Jones Dome—won't do. Instead, the St. Louis football franchise expects an extreme makeover, to the tune of $700 million, as it is estimated by a company hired by the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission (CVC) to analyze the team's counter proposal to a the CVC's own plan to upgrade the Edward Jones Dome with a $124 million facelift. If someone doesn't cough up the $700 mil to redo the Dome, it is feared the team will take its football and go home to Los Angeles, where it came from before it was the St. Louis franchise. All of this wrangling was set in motion in 1995 when the team negotiated a 30-year lease with the CVC. It was stipulated that the …

Hawks lose Show-Me Bowl and snap 19-game winning streak.
Hazelwood Central High School coach Rich Nixon called it a thing of beauty - and he was on the losing side. Yes, the Hawks' 10-7 loss to Kansas City Rockhurst in the Class 6 Show-Me Bowl game on Saturday night was indeed, a masterpiece. Well-played, hard-hitting. And thrilling to end.
