ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Cardinals President Bill DeWitt III said it's "premature" to say the team will seek public money for renovations to Busch Stadium.
DeWitt said in an interview with the Business Journal that Busch Stadium will likely need a “big infusion of capital” in the years ahead to extend its lifespan, but that it’s too soon to know if the Cardinals plan to utilize public funding to assist with that future investment.
“It’s going to need that (capital) influx at some point. Nobody is talking about how we’re going to finance yet. It’s so premature to say something remotely implying that we’re out there asking for public assistance,” DeWitt said.
DeWitt’s comments were in response to an article published Wednesday in the Riverfront Times that said the Cardinals will “likely seek public funding” for future improvements at Busch Stadium.
