ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The chief operating officer of the St. Louis Rams says not to expect any talk about future plans for the franchise until after the season’s final games are played.
“Obviously, we have a deadline that’s been reported of January 28th, where we have to notify the city of going year-to-year on the (Edward Jones Dome) lease. I think it’s pretty much a given that we’ll go year-to-year on the lease,” Kevin Demoff told KMOX’s Mike Kelly on his “Sports on a Sunday Morning” show.
Demoff said the Rams front office wants to see what type of new St. Louis stadium plan Governor Nixon’s appointed task force announces next month, “Dave Peacock (task force co-chair) and his group have been hard at work. We’re obviously curious to see what they’ve been up to and get a sense of how that project’s viewed locally. We’ll have to know our options elsewhere. But, I think over the next month or two months you’ll start to see a bigger picture develop.”
Demoff’s comments come as CBS Sports.com’s Jason LaCanfora reports Rams owner Stan Kroenke attended last week’s NFL owners meeting where a briefing was given on the league’s plans for a team or teams to play in Los Angeles, possibly as soon as next season.
