Wow! Time flies, especially 30 minutes, when you're talking money and sports.

Today on the show, we discussed how the JQH Arena will pay its bills and the advantage of having national acts like the Eagles and Casting Crowns coming to Springfield.

The St Louis Blues have a "mortgage bailout plan" for fans. See the full story on this blog.

We also talked about the best deals in sports. From buy one, get one season tickets to buy now, pay later deals. Teams are doing everything they can to put fans in the seats in this tough economy.

Did you know Jerry Jones has to refinance $350 million in debt on the new stadium in Dallas? Not your ordinary mortgage.

And will Mark Cuban be able to buy the Cubs? Cub fans like it as well as current owner Sam Zell. However, MLB is not to exited about it.

Join Rob and Steve on Sports Biz Friday on KADI 1340 AM from 8:30 to 9:00 am. Don't forget to get your market opening bell report every Friday.
