Where have you lived MissJagsFanatic? 

 

I don't think you have any grasp on the St Louis situation.  I lived there when the ownership changed hands and let me tell you Jacksonville is very fortunate that Mr Khan's bid fell through because Stan is a heartless businessman.  He could give a flip about the city.  He has not said a word during years of negotiations and everyone knows he has a major property in LA.  Some of the stadium proposals have been amazing.

 

At the end of the day, St Louis is a Cardinals baseball town and for their population they heavily support hockey as well.  The St Louis Blues had packed stands last night for their win over Nashville.  Personally I didn't like living in St Louis for 5 years very much at all.  But I never ever had a bad experience at a baseball, football or hockey game.  They are very passionate and knowledgeable sports fans.

 

At the end of the day they have known they are going to get screwed for years now.  No ticket drive or attendance measure was going to take away getting screwed.  I'll be shocked if they stay.
