Last month, it lost a suit to prevent the Rams from buying — for $1 — the team’s old Earth City practice facility, worth at least $12.7 million. And now it’s on the hook for about $295,000 in legal fees to attorneys at Blitz, Bardgett & Deutsch, who represented the public dome authority in the fight over the practice fields.

Dome authority Chairman Jim Shrewsbury recently said the Rams and owner Stan Kroenke “broke trust” with St. Louis.

“Their efforts to control the facility in Earth City are but another attempt to take something that should belong to this community,” Shrewsbury said last month. “So we used every means available to prevent them from doing so.”

The current issue stems from the sale of personal seat licenses more than two decades ago, before the Rams arrived in St. Louis.

PSLs, as they are called, were a one-time purchase giving fans the right to buy season tickets. They were good for 30 seasons, coinciding with the 30-year length of the stadium lease.

At first, the PSLs were sold by FANS Inc., a nonprofit of civic leaders trying to get a team to fill the already-constructed downtown dome. Once the Rams arrived, the team took over sale of the PSLs.
