Dedication Ceremony, Private VIP Gala and Free Public Concert Highlight Grand Opening Celebration     

Cardinals Nation, Budweiser Brew House, FOX Sports Midwest Live!, Drunken Fish, Howl at the Moon & PBR St. Louis-A Cowboy Bar Now Open

            ST. LOUIS, MO (March 27, 2014) – The St. Louis Cardinals and the Cordish Companies celebrated the formal grand opening of the $100 million first phase of Ballpark Village (#BallparkVillage) today with a dedication ceremony with civic officials followed by a private VIP Gala and a free public concert within FOX Sports Midwest Live! with national recording artist Third Eye Blind.

“Ballpark Village is a truly significant development for St. Louis, and the opening of Phase One today is another step in the continuing investment the Cardinals have made in downtown St. Louis,” Gov. Jay Nixon said. “This adds to the aura of Busch Stadium and the great Cardinal teams – past, present and future.”

“Ballpark Village will be a regional entertainment destination, giving all of us another reason to come early and stay late in Downtown St. Louis,” said Mayor Francis G. Slay, City of St. Louis.  “It links the exciting transformation underway at the Arch grounds to new venues for shopping, dining and fun for the whole family.”

The construction of Ballpark Village represents the next step in the Cardinals’ vision for downtown St. Louis that began with the opening of the $411 million privately-financed Busch Stadium in April 2006. Located on 10 acres just north of Busch Stadium, Ballpark Village is one of the first master-planned developments designed around a new MLB ballpark. The approximately 120,000 square foot multi-story first phase of the multi-phased project is visible beyond the center field wall and is designed to look like an extension of Busch Stadium. The project was carefully crafted to compliment the energy and excitement of the Cardinals’ game day experience, while also functioning as a year-round attraction by itself.

“We believe our fans will fall in love with Ballpark Village and all that is has to offer beyond even game days,” said Bill DeWitt Jr, Chairman and CEO of the St. Louis Cardinals. “We anticipate that Cardinals Nation and Ballpark Village will be where the best fans in baseball will come to play all year round.”

The first phase of Ballpark Village is anchored by Cardinals Nation, the Budweiser Brew House, FOX Sports Midwest Live!, PBR St. Louis – A Cowboy Bar, Howl at the Moon and Drunken Fish.

“This will be one of the premiere entertainment districts in the United States,” said David Cordish, CEO of the Cordish Companies. “We integrated the best elements of all our successful projects and took them to an even higher level with this project.”

Ballpark Village features five live performance stages, the largest retractable roof of its kind in the United States, one of the biggest indoor TV screens in the Midwest and an outdoor festival space that recreates the infield of the previous Busch Stadium in its exact historical location.

“We appreciate patience and unyielding support of our fans, as well as the commitment and support of so many others on the long journey toward making this remarkable vision a reality,” said Bill DeWitt III.  “I’m excited for our fans to experience Ballpark Village.”

In addition to the construction of a 120,000 square foot state-of-the-art structure housing nine marque venues, the first phase of Ballpark Village includes the development of the site infrastructure for the future build out of the entire 10-acre site. The remaining pad-ready development sites will allow for future phases to be developed more quickly since the basic infrastructure is already in place. In future phases, the team hopes to add residential, office and retail, as well as more restaurants and entertainment venues to the mixed-use neighborhood.

Following is more information on how fans can discover and enjoy Ballpark Village.

Construction of Ballpark Village

Ballpark Village is the first construction project in the St. Louis area to use Sideplate Structural Connection for the structural steel. PARIC, Ballpark Village development team’s general contractor and a St. Louis-based company, used this innovative connection because it provided more flexibility in the layout of the building, leading to the vast open spaces, as well as helping to minimizing the amount of steel needed and the cost associated with that material. With the long term future of this project in mind, PARIC implemented a Geopier foundation system to which was an efficient way to improve the long-term stability of the foundations while minimizing the associated cost.

Because so much of this project is focused on the experience of the Cardinals fans, PARIC’s goal was to minimize the impact of the construction site on the game day experience. PARIC focused on the critical site work that needed to be completed prior to the season to minimize the impact on streets around Busch Stadium. At any given time PARIC coordinated as many as 250 workers representing 15 different trades. The St. Louis Cardinals engaged Clayco as the general contractor on the build-out of Cardinals Nation.

Construction By The Numbers

  • 925 tons of steel
  • Highest point is 75’ (steel above the rooftop seating)
  • 165,900 bricks
  • 68 tons of cast stone
  • 250 workers were on site at any one time, representing 15 skilled union construction trades
  • 250,000 man hours
  • 5,108 total cubic yards of concrete
  • 6,000 lbs. of Easy Turf on Busch II Infield
  • 20,000 lbs. of silica under Busch II Infield
  • 159 trees planted
  • 968,670 Pixels or 3 million LED’s for the nearly 35ft diagonal TV in FOX Sports Midwest Live!

Ballpark Village Boosts Local Economy

The construction of Ballpark Village, which began in February 2013, has been a welcome boost to our local economy. Over a thousand construction workers collaborated to build the first-phase of Ballpark Village, and close to a thousand permanent new jobs have been created with the new businesses operating within the district.

A priority commitment of the Ballpark Village development team has been to ensure an inclusive approach in all aspects of the construction and operation of the district. Ballpark Village developers have worked in partnership with the city, community leaders and others to ensure that the economic benefits of the project reach historically disadvantaged sectors of the community. The developers used a variety of proactive strategies to maximize minority participation and workforce diversity during the construction, as well as to achieve a diverse operational workforce reflective of the St. Louis region.

The first phase of the project is projected to achieve 21.62% MBE, 7.78%WBE contractor participation and 31% minority workforce utilization for the core and shell construction. In addition to meeting the M/WBE and workforce requirements set forth by the city in the development agreement, the development team felt it was important to go beyond what the city required by asking each tenant to work to achieve these goals with their construction. Each tenant has voluntarily worked to achieve the state’s M/WBE and workforce goals with interior construction, and the Ballpark Village team has worked with the city’s employment agency SLATE to establish a permanent recruitment and training office to maximize employment opportunities for city residents, particularly historically disadvantaged populations. The development team, along with each Ballpark Village tenant, has aggressively worked to recruit over a thousand employees to staff the first phase of Ballpark Village.
