EARTH CITY, Mo. -- As we move closer to the Dec. 30 deadline for home markets of St. Louis, Oakland and San Diego to have their final stadium proposals ready for the NFL's review, more and more details of the St. Louis project are emerging.
On Monday afternoon, stltoday.com's David Hunn wrote that the estimated cost of the proposal for the city's north riverfront has jumped another $10 million to a cool $1.01 billion.
According to Hunn's report, the bonds issued by the stadium authority could cover the increase and city taxes on concessions on game days would help pay off those bonds.
