ST. LOUIS -- Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and his stadium task force have until Dec. 30 to put together a final pitch to the St. Louis Rams and the NFL in their efforts to keep the team in town, according to a letter NFL executive Eric Grubman sent Friday.
In the letter, Grubman spells out exactly what the league would like to receive before it goes about making a final decision on relocation. A similar letter was sent to San Diego and Oakland as those cities attempt to retain the Chargers and Raiders.
From the letter:
“We request that the proposal include, to the extent possible, (i) a detailed outline of all material terms, financial and otherwise, (ii) specific details of the sources and uses for project construction, (iii) identification of the authority necessary to secure public contributions (including approvals already received, and projected timing of obtaining any additional approvals), and (iv) the timing and steps necessary, and remaining risks, if any, for you to execute the deal on the terms outlined.
