Hochman: Time is now for stadium

Are we having a crisis in confidence?

Is that what this is?

I feel that Ferguson has embarrassed St. Louis, exposed St. Louis. And now, with the Rams looking to leave, that has deflated St. Louis, emasculated St. Louis.

We need to resuscitate our confidence, together — this town really is good, guys (and gals) — and that’s why I enjoyed the energy from Gov. Jay Nixon, whom I met with one-on-one Thursday afternoon.

Can Nixon save the NFL in St. Louis? He’s going up against Stan Kroenke, the stalwart Soviet hockey team of businessmen.
