Quote:The city would do more than melt down.  Every city council member and the mayor would be burned in front of the stadium.  The Jones Dome is a convention center and it is near a casino.  It doesn't have great sight lines or add to the atmosphere.  The baseball park is positioned perfectly and has so much character.  The blues setup is really nice as well.  Hopefully they will keep renovating the opera house.  It is a really nice setup.

Yeah, I spent a month down in Fenton and worked in St. Louis.  I passed the ballpark at least 100 times on the interstate, but never got over there because it was during spring training and baseball hadn't gotten back to Missouri.  To a person, anyone I asked about the Rams made it clear they were an afterthought.  St. Louis is truly a baseball town.  The Blues do get attention, but even they are a step child to the Cards.  The Rams may come in a distant 3rd.  I think even college football ranks ahead of them. 

 

When you look at the updates made around the stadium to turn that into an entertainment hub, it makes sense that Lamping was brought here to do pretty much the same thing for the EverBank area.
