The St. Louis Cardinals announced this morning that Ballpark Village — currently the vacant grassy field located adjacent to the new downtown ballpark, Busch Stadium — will have something beyond its fenced-in acreage when the All-Star Game visits this summer.
Cardinal Beat
Today's announcement that the St. Louis Cardinals will build out the Ballpark Village site with a softball field and parking lot in time for this year's All-Star Game is no big surprise. We all knew that Ballpark Village development was behind schedule, that the recession would stall the project further and that the Cardinals would hastily concoct some beautification plan before the All-Star Game. Yet this is definitely not what we wanted to show the world this year -- a surface parking lot instead of an urban development under construction.
