Missouri Governor Jay Nixon recently released a set stadium and property renderings designed by HOK for the new St. Louis Rams stadium. According to the firm, the new renderings reflect the input received by key stakeholders such as Ameren, the Terminal Railroad Association, Army Corps of Engineers, NFL, and the St. Louis Rams.
There is a task force in charge of developing plans for an open-air NFL stadium project that will be located on the North Riverfront of downtown St. Louis. In addition to the potential stadium, the task force is also seeking enhancements of the Edward Jones Dome and the America's Center convention facility.
CBS St. Louis has more on the announcement.
