Multiple league sources have told the Post-Dispatch that the arbitration hearing on the stadium lease issue is scheduled to begin in mid-January. More precisely, Jan. 14, according to one source familiar with the process. So we’re little more than two months away from a hearing that could decide the future of professional football in St. Louis. Once the hearing is completed, it could take two weeks or two months to get a ruling from the arbitrators — there’s a lot of gray area here because there is no precedent for such a case.
