ST. LOUIS — The clock could be ticking on local ownership of the Earth City practice facility built for the then-St. Louis Rams.
The now Los Angeles Rams can purchase the 27-acre property, appraised by St. Louis County at $24.4 million, for $1 on or after Oct. 21, according to records obtained through an open-records request from the facility's owner, a state-created entity called the Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority (RSA). The RSA also owns the Rams' former stadium, the Dome at America's Center downtown.
The original deal to bring the Rams from Los Angeles to St. Louis in 1995 included a provision allowing the team to purchase its training facility on the 29th anniversary of a "facilities delivery date," long reported to be "in 2024."
