St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame wants a freestanding building
A St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame could be on its way to downtown.
Greg Marecek, who heads the hall of fame, is looking to move the display from Scottrade Center to a freestanding three-level museum at Union Station. The Post-Dispatch reports the building would cost $25 million and Marecek hopes to raise a third of that money this year.
Union Station is a more appealing site because owner, Lodging Hospitality Management, plans to spend $25 million to upgrade the facility.
If funding is secured, construction on the Hall of Fame would take about a year.
