Would you rent a home from someone who never repaired anything and let it go to hell?  Or would you move when your lease was up?  

You're mistaken.

The weird ass lease required the Dome to meet conditions. It didn't. The convention control board submitted $50 million renovation plans. The Rams rejected them. They submitted $125 million renovation plans. Rams rejected and countered with a $700 million project, mostly funded by municipal bonds. The city couldn't afford it, so Kroenke got his broken lease necessary to move.

Kroenke wanted nothing to do with STL. He wanted to be on the Coast. STL wanted a football team, but they also wanted one that was competitive. Kroenke hasn't tried in a while.
