ST. LOUIS • Aldermen arrived at City Hall on Tuesday for a heated debate over whether St. Louis would finance a portion of a new riverfront football stadium.
The crucial meeting, coming after weeks of debate, is an important step in the incremental legislative process. Aldermen are expected to vote later today to move the plan forward. That vote will show whether proponents have the votes to carry the plan forward.
Last minute changes were a point of contention during the debate.
The deal for a new riverfront football stadium changed overnight. This time, the National Football League is sweetening the pot, local stadium planners said, with a promise to add $100 million toward construction.
