St. Louis' Ballpark Village

26 October 2001 - 12:00pm

A new proposed 49,000-seat Cardinals baseball stadium would give downtown St. Louis a huge mixed-use redevelopment project.

"For the state, the element that sealed the deal was Ballpark Village, a planned mixed-use commu-nity on 12 acres proposed for the Busch Stadium site once the new park is built. The $300 million project, which could take ten years to develop, would include up to 500 residential units, 400,000 square feet of offices, 120,000 square feet of shops and restaurants and another 120,000 square feet for an aquarium and a Cardinals museum."

Under the proposal, the government would assign the populace the task of counting and mapping dog droppings as a first step to greater penalties for owners who fail to clean up after their mutts.
