Among other things. St. Louis is a good sports city and the Task Force has a good plan. Again, leading me to believe the lawsuit brought against the City wasn't well represented by the stadium cheer leader in the Mayor's office.

Slay - the Rams are our team.

No it's Stans team. He owns the team.

What a waste of 6-7 minutes and 1.1 mb of data.

Sorry BRT.

I thought it was interesting to hear him cheer lead the stadium as he was supposed to be representing St. Louis in a farce of a law suit. Also, hearing him say that the Rams owner and his representatives aren't talking to anyone. The rest was BS and I agree. Sounds like they will be having many more BBQ's and no football games in the future.

I don't think they will hear anything from Stan. As a member of Civic Progress he is personally responsible to help fund any development or progress that organization comes up with................On some issues, Civic Progress will take a leadership role; in other instances, the organization will collaborate with community partners and play a supporting role. Civic Progress also monitors a wide range of issues that affect the St. Louis region to keep its membership informed and prepared to act as necessary.

Civic Progress is a not-for-profit Missouri corporation funded by its members. Membership is by invitation and is determined, in part, by the ability of the executive and his or her organization to commit time and resources toward our organization’s initiatives for the St. Louis region.

When Civic Progress decided to spearhead the Arch project the very same one the members chose Peacock to spear head the members where on the hook for 100 million of the cost. To which as a article I read stated they had the responsibility as members to raise that amount of funds between them. Which I am sure many since they were on the hook for that amount of money reached into their own pocket, which would run counter to all the stories of Stan being a robber Barron in StL. So I wonder if maybe Bernie and some forgot to investigate all the details of the Arch project when they laud Peacock as such a go getter and use the Arch project as one of the examples and somehow forget to mention how Stan as a member of Civic was on the hook with other members to raise 100 million of the funds needed?

I also have come to the conclusion when it comes to money and being in bed with StL and having them make ya a promise they will upgrade your stadium or even promise to pitch in. The odds might be their promises are always bigger than the funds they promise ya. Here is a article as of just a couple weeks ago where StL is upset over $350k they have to pay out to the Park service over one of their ambitious projects by Greenway the same organization Peacock approached over adding the stadium to their project and combining them. If $350k is a sticking point with them wonder if they are gonna raise any eyebrows are have problems in the future when a NFL teams might submit some kind of bill that could be in the millions and is supposedly part of a obligation the city or any of these organizations said they would meet. Ya know part of the obligations they say they will meet if the Rams moved there or as know any future obligations if they stay there. So anyway here is the article.


ST. LOUIS (AP) - As work progresses on the project to renovate the Gateway Arch and the area surrounding it, the St. Louis organization Great Rivers Greenway is balking at a request for cash from the National Park Service.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Park Service officials had given their greenlight on the $380 million renovation project of the Gateway Arch grounds so long as local officials agreed that taxpayers and private donors would fund nearly all of the work, plus the operations increase.

Park Service officials had asked the Great Rivers Greenway for its first major installment of ongoing operations cash. The Park Service wanted $356,000 next year, largely to help pay for three park rangers. But the public trails district balked at the request Tuesday and instead questioned Park Service officials about the funding.
