St. Louis Commission Looking To Highlight City's Olympic History

The St. Louis Sports Commission yesterday detailed a new plan to "market St. Louis as an Olympic city and one that is well equipped to host high-profile sporting events moving forward," according to Brian Feldt of the ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. The commission and its Olympic Legacy Committee announced a "new 16-foot-wide, 9-foot-tall Olympic rings statue that will be permanently placed" on the campus of Washington Univ., the "oldest modern-day Olympic stadium still in use." The sculpture "should be completed before the end of the year." St. Louis was the host city for the 1904 Summer Games. The IOC is granting each Olympic host city the "chance to display two sculptures." A site for a second St. Louis-area sculpture is "expected to be chosen later." The entire project is "projected to cost as much as $300,000" (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, 2/6).
