#STLNFL Stadium Proposal Google Map Location

The City of StLouis

 submitted a proposal for a new NFL Stadium that would accommodate both an NFL Team and a MLS Team!

Since I used to live and work in this proposed site location of the #STLNFL Stadium (here is a Google Map Snapshot for you to see where the proposed NFL Stadium location is).  I also added a few building locations (in Red) to the map in the first photo to make it easier to distinguish the buildings with all the currently unused, for sale and vacant land locations available to build on.

As you can see in the photos provided most of the area is already one big parking lot.  So I call that statement that claimed the area will be a parking lot is very misleading as it already is one giant parking lot.

(here is a Google Map Snapshot for you to see where the proposed NFL Stadium location is).  I also added a few building locations (in Red) to the map in the first photo to make it easier to distinguish the buildings

I noticed a few tweets about tearing down buildings to build a giant parking lot and is why I provided this map overview to show you that the current location is mostly- vacant buildings, existing parking lots,  buildings that are for sale, and city property. 

The second photo of the proposed NFL Stadium Location

also from Google Maps shows many of the Streets Names, current Edward Jones Dome location, Four Season Hotel and Casino, Shady Jacks Saloon, and the Mississippi River.

  Shady Jacks. Correction:1/11/15 per http://fox2now.com/2015/01/10/couple-with-business-in-planned-area-for-new-stadium-speaks-out/ it doesn't sound like Shady Jacks is for sale per this Faux News interview

While working for ShadyJack and Scott aka Slim Shady. I met many of the local business owners in the properties that are adjacent to and in the immediate area around Shady Jacks Saloon.

So the fact that company is willing to improve on this location that is considered part of Downtown StLouis I don't see as a detriment for the city at all, especially when no public taxes will be used to build the stadium per the statement by Dave Peacock.

Bonds, Naming Rights, Private Money, and Pre Sale of Seats were the proposed financing recommendations by  Mr. Peacock. via espn- Here's how the financing is expected to work according to Peacock and Blitz: 

Private financing 

• NFL team ownership - $200-250 million
• NFL (committed to match up to $200 million through G4 loan program) - $200 million
• Total - $400-450 million

Potential public sources (all contingent on commitment of private financing)

• Extension of bonds on Edward Jones Dome - $300-350 million
• Missouri Development Finance Board support - $15-25 million
• Brownfield tax credits (for improving blighted areas) - $25-30 million
• Personal seat license proceeds - $120- $130 million
• Total - $460-535 million

Peacock and Blitz Unveil Study for New St. Louis NFL Stadium

A concept for a new NFL stadium in St. Louis has been unveiled by Dave Peacock and Bob Blitz, who were appointed by Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon to lead a task force to study a NFL stadium project on the North Riverfront area of downtown St. Louis that could be the new home for the St. Louis Rams. http://www.hok.com/about/news/2015/01/09/peacock-and-blitz-unveil-study-for-new-st-louis-stadium/

StLouis Building Preservation-Tuckpointing-Architectural Arches

Day 1 Work Photos showing the Architectural Details and how the Brick Mortar had eroded away in the 100+ year life of the building.  


Note: Mortar has eroded to the point that the Key Stones will loose their position and start the Domino Effect and allow the Entire wall to collapse.

When #MortarJoints  have deterriorated to this point it takes quite a bit of effort and patience to completely fill the voids {Tuck-pointing} to hold the #Bricks  in place.

With 65%+ of the Mortar gone Keystones, Springers, and Voussoirs fall out of place creating a Domino Effect and will eventually lead to #BrickBuildingCollapse

CAD Bar Designs-Before Photos with CAD Drawing

In this Design-Build Project for Shady Jacks Saloon in Downtown St Louis MO.  The Owner, Shady Jack has 3 Main Goals for this Project: 1-Create User Friendly Area for the Staff-with the addition of racking space for the Latest Non-Alcoholic & Alcoholic Beverage Dispensers; 2-Creating a eye appealing backdrop; 3-As always the renovation must blend in with the current surroundings.

Where: Shady Jacks-1432 North Broadway, St Louis MO, 63102
When: February 2013
Type: Custom Wood Work and Finishing
Materials: True Dimensional 'White Oak -Structural Beams' 

Build Notes: 

• To control costs we will be using up-cycled lumber from leftover materials from past projects at the Bar.

Additional Note:

• As a Non-Drinker-I look forward to having a greater selection of non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy when I'm hanging out at the Bar.
• The previous project-Stage and Extra Seating turned out Great and was a big hit at the last event.  At one time during the event; there were 2 Custom Harley Choppers with Stripper Pole Contestants all utilizing the Stage.  The Custom Wood Stage held up beautifully and created the perfect atmosphere for the event!
