A majority of the $1 million spent this year on the failed riverfront stadium project was for work done before Jan. 13, when National Football League team owners voted to let the Rams relocate to Los Angeles.
But more than $240,000 was billed to the St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority for work done between March 1 and March 31, two months after the plan had seemingly been shelved.
An invoice for $241,667 from HOK Inc. was designated for "design development." HOK senior vice president Lance Cage, who signed the invoice, did not immediately return a call Tuesday afternoon, and an HOK project accountant declined comment.
