Football anyone? Fledgling pro league in talks with St. Louis

The Rams and the NFL have been gone since the end of the 2015 season, but it's possible pro football could return to St. Louis as early as next February.

Kitty Ratcliffe, president of the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission, says the group — which goes by the trade name Explore St. Louis — has talked to representatives of three groups trying to form football leagues. And those groups have inquired about playing their games in the Dome at America's Center, formerly the Edward Jones Dome.

"It's interesting to see what's happening across the country," Ratcliffe said.
