St. Louis Rams Edward Jones Dome plans to be made public - 9NEWS.com

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) -- The public could get its first glimpse of the St. Louis' Rams wish list for upgrades to the Edward Jones Dome Monday morning.

Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is expected to make the plans public, despite the team wanting to keep them private. Koster let the team and the dome's landlord, the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission, know that he was planning to do this on May 14, unless a judge said otherwise.

The Rams were keeping the details private stating it had a confidentiality agreement in place with the CVC.

Many St. Louis-area news organizations, including KSDK, felt the dome plans should be made public because public funds were used to build the dome and will likely be used to pay for the upgrades.

The CVC's $124-million proposed plan released in February, calls for new paneling to let in natural light, a new jump screen, among other things.

The Rams rejected the proposal and submitted their own.

If the two sides can't come to terms, the process goes to arbitration in June.

The Rams can break their lease after the 2014 season if the dome is not deemed to be among the top tier of NFL stadiums.
