The issue is that the Ram's lease says that the Edward Jones Dome has to be in the "first-tier" of NFL stadiums by this year, and an arbitrator said the Rams' proposal accomplishes that, and the CVC's doesn't.

The city will be releasing a new plan by Friday in hopes it will be a "first-tier" stadium.

It is an interesting situation where the owner is prepared to pay for a brand new stadium in LA, but is looking for the tax payers in St. Louis to pay a good chunk of the upgrades to the current stadium. The NFL is really good at a lot of things, especially using LA to get tax payers to pick up the tab on their stadiums.

QFT.

Although if somebody moves to L.A., the NFL will be using that team's old home city instead.

I don't think either of those are big enough

The new stadium would be on a different site than the Dome (closer to the river). The Dome would stay as part of of the convention complex.
