ST. LOUIS • City Comptroller Darlene Green announced that she'll oppose the stadium financing plan now before the city's Board of Alderman, saying that aldermanic bill to fund construction of a new riverfront football stadium "is not fiscally responsible."
The comptroller said she was worried that the current plan creates a funding gap for the city and puts its credit rating at risk.
Instead, Green is proposing two possible solutions if the current bill is passed: Missouri should create a state sports authority able to finance more of the stadium costs, or that the city work with regional businesses on a plan to find additional money.
