St. Louis, MO – Workers on Wednesay removed the Stan Musial statue from the sidewalk ouside the old Busch Stadium and put it in storage.
It will have a prominent place outside the new Busch Stadium that opens next season.
The Musial statue has been a gathering place for people meeting at the ballpark for years, since it was erected in 1972. Work crews used a crane to lift it from its pedestal and onto the back of a truck.
Crews are currently working around the clock to demolish the old Busch Stadium. The Cardinals will play in a new Busch Stadium, being built next door, next season.
