I am very pleased to see the Rams leaving and really wished they would have never come to this city. That said I am in hopes that the CVC can use the opportunity to book in more convention business, make what tweaks, repairs and upgrades that are needed for their needs. Conventions are big business and St. Louis does have much to offer and in my opinion much, much more without the NFL being anywhere near this city.
