12/01/2005: A pleasant surprise....
According to The Business of Baseball report in today's Hardball Times:
Busch Stadium Demolition Ahead of ScheduleSince it's ahead of schedule, I suppose it'd be asking too much for the work to date to be coming in under budget.
With an intial deadline of late June, 2006, the demolition of Busch Stadium appears to be ahead of schedule by as many as three months. The south section of the stadium has already been taken down and it’s expected that half of the job will be finished by early January, 2006. The south end of the stadium needs to be take down because a street will be constructed that will eventually be the northern boundary of new Busch Stadium. And with the demoltion ahead of schedule, the St. Louis Cardinals are saying they’ll have everything ready, including the new stadium, for opening day on April 10, 2006.
I know... kvetch, kvetch, kvetch....
