Anyone who still supports these f*cking crooks (aka the Blues ownership) after this bullsh*t simply doesn't give a f*ck about this city or... i don't know... being a decent, honest person. Enjoy your sportsball at the cost of $107 million to f*cked-over city taxpayers. I know Blues ownership will enjoy pocketing those extra profits while paying ONE F*CKING DOLLAR a year in rent and ZERO dollars for maintenance--maddeningly, despite the lease requiring that they do so--because they clearly don't give a f*ck about city residents. Hope we're still able to fund basic services and infrastructure upkeep as our credit rating gets downgraded again.

How much have we handed out to the Cardinals ownership over the years?

Too much. Just as we've handed out too much to other businesses. It's okay to be mad about all of it. One justifying the other is how we got into the spiral.

Blues soon to play at the Enterprise Center.


Blues' Scottrade Center getting new name: Enterprise Center

After more than a decade as Scottrade Center, the home of the St. Louis Blues is getting a new name: Enterprise Center. The name will transition over the summer, the Blues said Monday, as a banner with the new Enterprise name hung from the side of the arena. The building hosts about 100 events a year, the team said, bringing more than a million guests to downtown St. Louis annually...
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The value of naming rights deals for arenas that include NHL franchises can range between $3 million and $10 million per year.

^It really was, wasn't it? Good stuff!

The Blues winning the Stanley Cup was incredible.

It is made sweeter by the fact that I accepted a job offer in St. Louis earlier that day.

Nice!!

Thank you.

I'm pretty darn excited. 

Congrats are in order for you as well! Keep checking those job boards.

I will be in St. Louis by late July. 

I didn't cry - but I did do more jumping than I have in a long time. This was the culmination of what is easily one of the greatest sports stories I have ever witnessed. 

At one point wasn't there talk of developing the corner of Clark & 14th Street, what ever happened to that? 

I gone to 3 games this season I know not much but they are significant at different chapters of the season. My first game was in Dec when they played the Panthers though they were in the lower end of standings they did win, then I gone to the March game where the played the Golden Knights and they looked much much improved and they did win that game as well and were one of the 10 teams in league, then I gone to the western conference final 1st game against San Jose where they lost by the hand pass that could have changed the series into San Jose’s favor however we all saw the outcome of that. I’m so proud to be a Blues fan St Louis is literally a sports city no matter what the sport is. If owners of the team are willing to invest in the team and fans then fans are willing to invest in the team and believe and cheer and attend games. Congrats to the Blues St.Louis finally has the hardest trophy to win In all of sports Lords Stanley Cup also we have a NBA NFL and MLB championships.

^ I was there, that was awesome lol. Really well done event by the Blues too. Another home run by this organization.

This game and even last night is soooo boring. Nothing to do with st.louis, just a nature of hockey all star weekend.
NBA and mlb are top 2 and nhl is a very distant 3rd and nfl is very very very distant 4th

I really like the NHL all star game format. 3 on 3 is more exciting to me than 5 on 5. I think the tournament format is fun. A lot more scoring chances. I’d personally watch the NHL all star game over the other 3 just because it keeps moving and is something different. In the NHL format I find myself rooting for my teams division to win. In MLB, I just want to see my teams players hit or pitch. The rest of the plays I don’t care about.

While I like baseball better than hockey in general, MLB’s all star game is boring to me. Game doesn’t mean anything and has no quirk that makes it different than a regular game, except that most of the players I don’t care about. I’d rather watch my favorite team play a a regular season game. NFL is the worse though. They should just get rid of it.

Last night I agree was pretty slow though.
