Busch Stadium to replace Busch Stadium
The St. Louis Cardinals announced yesterday that their new stadium will be called Busch Stadium, after a naming-rights agreement with the beer giant and former team owner. Busch Stadium will replace Busch Stadium, which was built in 1966 to replace Busch Stadium (which was originally Sportsman's Park, in those innocent days when you could name buildings after something so amorphous as a "sportsman"). Financial terms were not disclosed, so there's no way to know how this plays into the Cards' $387.5 million stadium finance plan.
