 News WISHSTONE retained by St.Louis Cardinals for decorative stone medallions on new stadium
| Aug 11, 2004 |
Baseball fans in St. Louis are getting a new stadium and WISHSTONE will
play a part in finishing off the bird's new roost. A recent meeting
between the Cardinals' Design Committee & HOK Sports solidified
WISHSTONE as their exclusive source for decorative, hand-carved stone
medallions to adorn the new $400 million Cardinals ballpark in St.
Louis.
WISHSTONE's artist & stone carver, Gabe Drueke, will hand-carve each of
the 11 original designs into Indiana Limestone. Once the originals are
complete, molds will be made and approximately 74 cast stone replicas
will be used for accenting the exterior brick work of the stadium.
Ground breaking ceremonies were held in January 2004 and the new
ballpark is slated to open for the 2006 season. Visit
