ST. LOUIS • The St. Louis Rams are long gone, but St. Louis taxpayers could still be on the hook for a former NFL running back's 2015 injury at former Edward Jones Dome.
A civil trial began Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by Reggie Bush, 33, against the owners and operators of the dome and the now-Los Angeles Rams, claiming he suffered a season-ending knee injury when he slipped on a "concrete ring of death" at the facility after he was pushed out of bounds during a game.
"You can see, it's like all of a sudden he's running on ice cream," Bush's lawyer Tim Cronin told jurors in opening statements Tuesday as he played video of the injury in the courtroom.
