[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1934799, member: 590800"] Yeah, I totally get the argument against playing football in baseball stadiums, but that dome also doesn't seem great. It is very rare you get a situation like Illinois/Mizzou with a major metro RIGHT in the middle, straddling the river/border and with a significant suburban population in both states. That type of neutral site game should not be equated with USC and Alabama randomly playing in Atlanta, GA to start the season ... St. Louis is a logical place for Illinois/Mizzou, and at least on the basketball side it has developed into a special type of event that is much more fun and unique than a normal home and home. I don't know if Busch Stadium is sufficient, but I really do think it would be fun and good publicity for both programs. [/QUOTE]
