On Friday night, facing a 10 week adjournment, the St. Louis Board of Aldermen successfully passed a bill approving a $64 million bond purchase designed to refurbish and upgrade Scottrade Center.
In the face of a mayoral race and a bizarre equivocation with an attempt to acquire a Major League Soccer team, the Scottrade renovation plan has been controversial. The team has been encouraging fans to use the hashtag “#OurArena” on social media to display their support.
The bond purchases will not require a public vote, so at least a portion of the renovations proposed by the Blues and Scottrade Center officials are certain to be completed.
