LOUIS — The nomadic St. Louis Rams finally are home. The Trans World Dome opened to mostly rave reviews yesterday as the Rams hosted the Carolina Panthers. The $280 million downtown stadium was supposed to open three weeks ago for a game against San Francisco, but construction delays forced one final game at their temporary home, Busch Stadium. The Associated Press Fans seemed to agree the new place was worth the wait — and the taxpayer money that built it. "It's big, but there's not a bad sight line here." John Bayer said as he sat in the back row over the corner of the end zone. "I mean, this is spectacular. it costs way too much money, but I'm going to be able to take my 7-year-old to a football game." The city, county and state spent money to build the stadium, which adjoins the America's Center Without it, the Rams wouldn't have abandoned Los Angeles for the Midwest this past offseason. With it, St. Louis now is home to three of the four major team sports. and can be converted into a convention hall. The 205-foot-high dome covers four city blocks. "I think it says St. Louis has turned the corner," said Thomas Eagleton, the former U.S. senator who heads the civic group that lured the Rams. "When we lost football we became a second-class city. As of today, we're first-class again." Bruce Sommer, director of the America's Center, called the stadium mega-fantastic. St. Louis County Executive George "Buzz" Westfall went one step further. "There's not a nicer sporting venue in the entire world," he said. Stadium officials said that the dome was about 99 percent complete, and that a few minor glitches remained. One escalator wasn't working. Signs throughout the building read "Please pardon our dust as we put the finishing touches on the Trans World Dome." Construction workers continued to work even as game time neared. But the dark green field looked good, the restrooms were functional and the indoor temperature was 72 degrees while the temperature outside hovered in the 30s. As far as 14-year-old Joshua Clark was concerned, the amenities took a backseat to what was happening on the field. "We had tickets for the old Cardinals," said Steve Grote, who brought his two boys and a nephew to the game. "I remember sitting through a lot of games when it was 30 degrees and sleeeting. This is great." Players from both teams glanced around the stadium as they entered. The place is still new to the Rams — because of on-going work, they weren't allowed to work out inside except for a brief walk-through Saturday. "The Rams better win, they haven't been looking so good," he said. Canucks' star out for the season with bad knee The Associated Press VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Vancouver Canucks realized their worst fears Saturday. They will be without scoring star Pavel Bure for the rest of the NHL season because of a knee injury that requires surgery. "Pavel is 24 years old ... For his career and for the state of his knee we feel that it's best if we proceed to try and correct the problem and not just live with it," said Ross Davidson, the Camucks' team physician. Bure will be operated on soon to repair his right knee. no other damage to the major structures in his knee, apart from the anterior cruciate ligament," Davidson said. "Luckily, from the (tests), there's Bure was injured Thursday in Chicago when cuffed to the ice by defenseman Steve Smith of the Blackhawks. Smith grabbed Bure around the head in the first period, and when Bure fell behind the Chicago net, he caught his skate at the base of the boards, and his knee bent at an unusual angle. Bure said that he was leaining one way and twisting the other. Smith said that he was trying to shield Bure from the puck during a Vancouver power play. The Moscow-born Bure had a slow start to the regular season with 13 points in 15 games, including six goals. In 44 games last season, when the schedule was shortened by a 105-day players' strike, Bure led the Canucks in scoring with 20 goals and 23 assists for 43 points. Bure was a standout for Vancouver in the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs when he scored 16 times in 24 games to spark the Canucks to the finals against the New York Rangers. His most memorable goal came in the second overtime period in the seventh game against the Calgary Flames in the opening round in 1994. Bure took a breakaway pass from Jeff Brown and slipped it in behind goalie Mike Vernon. The Canucks rewarded Bure with a five-year $22.5 million contract following that season. Bure joined the Canucks in November 1991 and scored 34 goals in 65 games in his rookie season to win the Calder Trophy as the NHL's top first-year player. The Canucks rely on Bure's entertainment value to fill seats at the new GM Place arena that opened this year. Bure followed with consecutive 60-goal seasons.
