The Convention and Visitors Commission is turning on the heat when it comes to the Rams. The team announced earlier this month that it will play a home game in London for the next three years.

On Friday the CVC said that the team's lease requires them to play all home games at the dome. The CVC does not want to comment at this time but in a statement they did acknowldege playing overseas would elevate the team's awareness. The CVC said it notified the Rams of the contract but has yet to hear back from the team.

The CVC must hand over its plan to the team by Wednesday, detailing how the dome will be improved to make it a first tier facility by 2015.

STATEMENT FROM THE ST. LOUIS RAMS

A homicide early Thursday morning in Soulard has caused a battle between the city and a Soulard night spot to heat up.  The man killed in the shooting on 8thStreet had been a customer at the Social House, a block away.  That bar has been labeled a nuisance property by the city of St. Louis.

“The Social House has been on our radar screen for a little over a year now,” city Operations Director Sam Dotson said in an interview Thursday.  Dotson says the Social House was sent it’s second “cease and desist” letter in just over a year last week, due to several dozen police calls to the location.

Ten days and counting till Super Bowl Sunday. But keep in mind, scammers are just as excited as true football fans. And there's a warning from the Better Business Bureau before the big game. 

You might say the BBB is telling fans, put your game face on and block the thieves who want to take your money.  Protect your wallet and enjoy the game.  Big sporting events bring out the scam artists according to Chris Thetford of the BBB.

"This big huge sporting events with all the hype,  all the money people are going to spend provide a perfect breeding ground for scammers."

Start with merchandising.  The counterfeit jersey or hat may be the right price but quality is all wrong.  And there's another reason to steer clear according to Thetford.

"You are in effect buying from a retailer who has in effect stolen using the logos of the team or the logos of the SuperBowl."
