Veteran stadium builders sprint to finish new Cardinals park By JACK NAUDI, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
PRIDE's first goal is to motivate the industry, from the dozens of subcontractors to the hundreds of tradespeople who will spend the next two years working on a stadium that's expected to last at least half a century.
It shouldn't be too difficult, said Steve Schoemehl, business manager for International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1 in St. Louis.
'I still talk about the time that I spent on the (Edward Jones) Dome, when it was built,' Schoemehl said. 'That was a big deal for me. . . . It's like having your hand in a piece of history.'
Schoemehl also revealed a trade secret. Behind electric panels and interior walls at big projects - in places likely to be seen only if there is a major renovation - electricians often scrawl their names. The new Cardinals stadium, will be etched with many unseen names, Schoemehl figures.
'It's like a kid putting his name in concrete,' he said.------------------------------------------- posted 7:21 AM :: reference link ::
