The St. Louis Rams has reached an agreement with the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission that will allow the team to go forward with playing a game in London next season.

The CVC approved an amendment to the lease agreement that required the Rams to play all their home games at the Edward Jones Dome.

Per terms of the agreement, the Rams will pay all contracted employees - ticket takers, ushers, etc. - their full wages for the game.

The Rams want to play one game in London in each of the next three seasons, but the amendment only applies to next season.

The CVC will also be allowed to use the Dome two weekends during the football season instead of one.

Rams owner Stan Kroenke also owns Arsenal of the English Premier League.
