ST. LOUIS • The proposed riverfront football stadium has already cost taxpayers $3 million.
Five invoices released late last week — to financing advisors, railroad track engineers, contract attorneys and management — pushed the running total over the threshold. The public board that owns and operates the Edward Jones Dome, where the St. Louis Rams now play, is paying nearly all of the bills. The state is covering some financial advice.
Top billers, so far, are the stadium’s design and construction manager, John Loyd, at more than $190,000; dome attorneys Blitz, Bardgett and Deutsch, at nearly $260,000; and architects HOK, at more than $2.
