It opened four days after the last baseball game was played at Sportsman's Park (which had also been known since 1953 as Busch Stadium).The stadium was designed by Sverdrup & Parcel and built by Grün & Bilfinger. Edward Durell Stone designed the roof, a 96-arch "Crown of Arches". The Crown echoed the Gateway Arch, which had been completed only a year before Busch Stadium opened.
