I've only been to 2 stadiums and that by far is my favorite.

I can almost see the stadium from my window, i am gonna drive by this weekend and check the progress

would have been much cooler if they imploded it, as they had originally planned

I didn't even think they demolished stadiums anymore without imploding them. Why in the hell are they doing it this way? It seems it would be more complicated and take alot more time to get the job done. I am sure $ has something to do with it I guess.

^^^ eat my ass scott...baruk atau adinou or however the hell u say it..shalom oh engaged one!

they're wrecking it instead of imploding it because 1) the new stadium is three months ahead of schedule and under budget 2) its cheaper, and since they're ahead of schedule there's no point to get it down quicker and 3) because there are building on all sides of it, they thought itd be a little safer....i would have rather seen it implode but oh well....the new stadiums lookin nice as hell though, cant wait till next season

R.I.P. Busch!

I saw it over fall break. The new stadium is close as fuck to Busch. If they imploded it, I could imagine that it would make quite a mess on the new seats...since they are all installed where the new stadium has been built to this point.

you can bid on items like Tony LaRussa's desk and other parts of the old ballpark.
