It's All-Star Signage Season

Major League Baseball has decended on St. Louis and is literally painting the town red with All-Star event signage. The city is buzzing with cleaning crews, landscapers and signage installers, all getting ready for All-Star Week. We're seeing wallscapes, pole banners, window graphics, floor graphics and more. It's great to be a part of the festivities and we're looking forward to a fantastic celebration.
Show me the money
According to St. Louis Regional Chamber & Growth Association (RCGA) Chief Economist Ruth Sergenian, the total bi-state regional economic impact of 2009 All-Star Summer will be approximately $60 million. An estimated 230,000 people will attend the All-Star Summer events including Major League Baseball All-Star FanFest, the State Farm Home Run Derby, and the All-Star Charity Concert benefitting Stand Up To Cancer, a free concert under the Arch.
Out-of-town visitors are expected to account for 49 percent of overall attendance. Direct spending by visitors (dining, retail, and hotels) and Cardinals operations will be $33 million. The indirect impact of that spending in the region will be $27 million.
Stay tuned for more
