StL is a baseball town.

Yes, but their ownership also extorted public funding for a ballpark. When it was not forthcoming they threatened to move across the river to East St. Louis, Illinois.

Just imagine......Kevlar Poncho Night!

I know the Cardinals tried, but the new Stadium was eventually built without public funding (although I have no doubts that there were/are gobs of tax breaks).

On a completely different note, I can’t believe that Dodger Stadium is now the third-oldest ML ballpark.
