Brenden Schaeffer discusses the recent Riverfront Times article that reported that the Cardinals plan to request public funding in the neighborhood of $500 to $600 million for renovations to Busch Stadium.

What exactly are the renovations needed? What is the timeline for this potential project? And comparing it to recent examples across sports, how do we expect the public to react to this request if it ever comes time to vote on it?

Although this report is merely the signal of a very preliminary stage of the process, it does seem that the Cardinals could come knocking on the door of the public in the next two to five years asking for funding to upgrade this 18-year-old stadium.
