Arches on Parade Spark All-Star Week
Fun
In
a few weeks the national spotlight will be on St. Louis as we
host the 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star Game and all of the
fun and exciting activities that will be held in conjunction with
this Midsummer Classic.
The Arches on Parade Program is one of the many
free things fans will be able to do when they are in town. A total
of 16 arches are on display in various locations through the City.
In addition to City Hall, arches are located at Kiener Plaza,
America’s Center, the Old Post Office, Forest Park, Busch Stadium
and the St. Louis County Government Building.
Every All-Star Game is special, but this one – the 80th – is going
to be particularly special, and it is the fifth one for St. Louis.
The first All-Star Game here was held at Sportsmans Park in 1940.
The last one, in 1966, was held at the previous Busch Stadium, the
year it opened. Now the new Busch Stadium will be the setting of
this annual contest that provides memories for generations of sports
fans. It will also bring an economic impact of approximately $60
million to the St. Louis area.
