No One There Bill Lane

A St. Louis billionaire wages a spirited battle to win an expansion pro football franchise for his city. When he announces that he will build a grand new stadium "unlike any ever seen," he is applauded. His announcement of the team name and colors win favor. His selections of head coach and general manager are inspired. The team's expansion draft choices appear to be a shrewd blend of veteran leadership and youthful promise. But as ground is broken on the new stadium, uncomfortable questions arise. And as it takes shape, it becomes apparent that Jonas Ingram has set out to change the way 21st Century America consumes its football. There are consequences.
