Busch Stadium, St. Louis, MO (2006, 2009)

 
This is the view of the stadium from the Arch.  You can see the old stadium to the right.  For a while this was a great view of the side-by-side construction.

The hole was filled in when the team hosted the 2009 All-Star Game.  Originally the Cardinals and The Cordish Company (PowerPlant Live at Camden Yards, Kansas City Power & Light District) was going to develop a mixed-use and entertainment center there but the Missouri Legislature has been unwilling to approve needed incentives and St. Louis leadership has messed things up over and over and the development has yet to happen. 

The new stadium seats 46,000 which is about 3,000 less than the previous facility.
