The St. Louis Rams are seeking to install a retractable roof on the Edward Jones Dome as part of their stadium upgrade proposal, St. Louis' KTVI reported.
Because of a Missouri Sunshine Law, details will be available Monday about the Rams' counter-offer to upgrade the Edward Jones Dome.
Breer: The spirit of St. Louis
The Rams recently rejected an offer from the operator of the building, the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission, which would have cost $124 million -- half from taxpayers, half from the team -- to updgrade the dome, instead, submitting a proposal of their own.
The CVC's proposal featured a nearly 100-feet long scoreboard, new club seats, windows to provide natural light and a 50,000-square-foot attachment wired for the use of electronics.
It is unclear how much it would cost to retrofit the building with a retractble roof, and the Rams' proposal did not include estimates.
According to the terms of the team's lease, the Rams are free to leave the city in January 2015 if the stadium is not among the league's top facilities.
If the team's counter-offer is rejected, the matter will go to arbitration June 15th, and that process could last all year.
The team has declined to release details of its offer, but Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is expected to make all the details public Monday.
