Saint Louis Ballpark Village (BPV) is a $650 million district adjacent to Busch Stadium where the St. Louis Cardinals play in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, occupying the site of the previous Busch Stadium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Busch Stadium Ballpark Village Information )〕 Situated on the 200 and 300 blocks of Clark Street across from Busch Stadium, it covers 10 acres and 7 city blocks consisting of of retail shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, 400 residential units, of office space, and 2,000 parking spaces.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Featured Developments )〕 As BPV's name and locale suggest, it is designed to be an extension of Busch Stadium and an innovative approach to creating a neighborhood – hearkening to Chicago's own Wrigleyville district next to Wrigley Field – and vitalize downtown St. Louis' economic potential. The project is envisioned as a year-round boon instead of only on the 81 days of Cardinals home games, make the region more of a focal point in the Midwest, and enhance the ballpark goers' experience. Although delays prevented the project's commencement for several years, the first main phase of construction was completed in time for Opening Day of the 2014 Major League Baseball season. The Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum and Cardinal Nation Restaurant, Fox Sports Midwest Live! Restaurant, the Budweiser Brew House, and PBR St. Louis all comprised the first phase. More phases of development are expected in the future, with plans to be announced. The primary developer is the Cordish Company of Baltimore, Maryland. ==Components== ;Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum and Cardinals Nation Restaurant.: The hall of fame, museum and restaurant share a 30,000 square-foot, three-story building. The first two stories house the restaurant and the top story the hall of fame and the museum. The restaurant was designed by Jeffrey Beers International and features memorabilia, three patios, two large bars, and large flatscreen TVs. Officially closed since 2008, the Cardinals Hall of Fame showcases plaques of the greatest players in team history. The museum provides over 8,000 square feet of artifacts. On the roof, more than 300 ticketed seats provide views into the stadium complemented by audio and visual feeds of games and full food and beverage amenities.〔 In January, 2014, less than two months before Opening Day, 2014, Cardinals chairman William DeWitt, Jr., introduced a formal selection process to enshrine former Cardinals players and personnel as members of the team Hall of Fame. For the inaugural class of 2014, a total 22 people were enshrined. ;Budweiser Brew House: Anheuser-Busch showcases the brewery's long-running connection with the franchise in a 20,000 square-foot facility.
