Former NFL quarterback Trent Green is advocating for the potential return of a professional sports team to St. Louis as Missouri prepares to officially launch sports betting on December 1. Green, a former quarterback for the St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs, is collaborating with Caesars Sportsbook to promote the state’s new betting initiatives. He expressed strong support for the city’s sports culture and hopes for a potential NFL team return.
Green, who played for the Rams during their Super Bowl-winning 1999 season, will be on a road trip to visit Harrah’s Kansas City, Horseshoe St. Louis, and Isle of Capri Booneville. Despite the absence of an NFL team in St. Louis, Green believes the city has the potential to host one again. He recalled the excitement of the community when the Rams relocated there in the 1990s, noting that fans were eager to support the team. Green emphasized the strong fan base and the city’s track record of hosting successful sports franchises, such as the St. Louis Blues and Cardinals.
The move to implement sports betting in Missouri marks a significant development for the state’s sports industry. Caesars Sportsbook will be offering both in-person betting options at casinos and a mobile app for users to place bets. Green, who has a personal connection to Missouri through his high school football days and his NFL career, sees the partnership as a natural fit. He plans to start his road trip by placing a bet on the Indiana Hoosiers, his college team, which is currently ranked No. 2 in the country.
In addition to promoting sports betting, Green is also supporting an exclusive promotion for Missouri residents. The
