BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. • The deal that allowed the Rams to leave St. Louis has now given the team a parting gift — its 27-acre practice facility in Earth City, worth at least $12.7 million.
An arbitration panel ruled on Wednesday that an option in the Rams training camp lease allows the departed National Football League team to buy the buildings, fields and grounds from the public in 2024 for just $1.
The sports complex authority, a public agency supported by St. Louis, St. Louis County and Missouri taxpayers, owns the Dome at the America's Center, where the Rams played, and the practice grounds, then called Rams Park.
