And the ball drops..

Today at 3pm the construction crew at Busch began demolishing the old stadium by wrecking ball. I watched it via webcast on KSDK. They are running a webcam throughout the entire process so if you get the urge to see what's going on check it out.

As a kid, a close family friend had season tickets in section 248. I can still remember learning my way around and the fun and fascination and excitement housed there. It is hard to believe that they are tearing it down to build something that houses 10k less 'commoner' seats, but as usual, money talks and boxes bring in more money.

Goodbye Old Friend.
