The days when sponsor’s signs covered the dome in downtown St. Louis are gone.
Today, a lonely Dr. Pepper sign is the last one standing — or rather hanging — on The Dome at America’s Center.
But if you’ve driven by the dome and seen the sign, chances are you did a double take. Many of its bulbs are blown out. Instead of saying “Dr. Pepper” it looks more like “Dr. Poper.”
The soft drink company remains the “official” drink for the dome, said Tony Paraino, communications director for the dome.
“They had a contract with the Rams, but they are the current soft drink for America’s Center,” he said.
