The amount paid is stated to be as high as $790 million after 15 hours of mediation talks at Clayton law firm.

St. Louis City, County and the Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority were involved in the suit against the NFL for allegedly encouraging St. Louis to spend millions of dollars while they planned to move the team back to Los Angeles.

For months there was a feud about a possible settlement, so both sides should be relieved with a settlement.

The lawsuit has garnered national attention for the last four and a half years, but this should end the long battle between the two sides.
