    Bidwill, not Bidwell didn’t move his team in ’85.

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    Open air isn’t necessary for soccer. Open air is necessary to keep costs down. January in St. Louis can be very nasty. Zero degree nasty.

    Who is Blitz? What are you responding to?

    Did we just happen to catch part of your ongoing inner monologue? n

    This thread was started as soon as the Peacock & Blitz Show began and provided up to the minute commentary as anyone tuned in and logged on here at the time could attest. Your tardiness while disdainful will be overlooked for now but not when determining whether you are cape worthy in the future.

    I wasn’t disdainful. Just playful.

    It’s evil, sure…but with a nice grin.

    Open air is also necessary to keep the Dome a viable facility for non-football functions. A new dome would be in direct competition with the old one, making it obsolete and financially unsuccessful.

    Good point. And if the weather was a problem, the dome would be there. Just walk over. 😉

    I’m not sure what all the fuss over an open air stadium is. Domes are in a very small minority in the NFL. Open air stadiums in colder weather areas have worked for decades. In Kansas City, Denver, Green Bay, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and others, they’ve been playing football outdoors throughout NFL history and it has worked fine. And it would be fine in St. Louis, too.

    In my experience no, not in St. Louis. The dome was the biggest selling point in the early ’90s because Busch II suffered great drop off in attendance in the month of december especially but other times when cold or wet or both. If a new stadium would have amenities to address that somewhat for the average fan then perhaps it could work.

    Oh that would be so awesome if that could be arranged!

    Yah, that presentation was not very good.

    Also,
    1. Gee, Gov Nixon, so fired up about Peacock and Blitz November 5th does not show up for presentation January 9th.
    Wow that was impressive. Is the old Gov beginning to distance himself from this plan?

    There will be no financing without a committment of a team. That is so WE DON’T HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE FINANCING IS.

    2. I’m sure Kroenke is turning cartwheels about having to foot 400 million for a stadium he will not own that has ONLY 64,000 SEATS!!! And will not be ready until 2020? BTW Peacock. The 80,000 seat stadium in Inglewood is projected to open in 2018 and will be privately funded.

    3. How many Super Bowls is that 64,000 seat stadium by the Muddy Missouri going to get as opposed to that 80,000 seat stadium in LA aka Hollywood, Beveryly Hills, Malibu Beautiful sunny Socal! Think the league and Kroenke are willing to make that trade?

    Too little too late, sorry guys gotta run, LA is calling!

    Grits

    I’m not being sassy here…

    Is that drop off in attendance because of the temperatures, or because the Cards were out of it by then?

    That is a fair question. With the cardiac teams of the ’70s the attendance was always there. When they were out of contention then yes the attendance dropped and really dropped if the weather was bad. What you must understand is that even in those years the seats were all sold out. The NFL doesn’t count a sold seat as attendance. With the dome the attendance rate will be high because weather isn’t an issue.
