episode description

What tools does it take to tear down a 50,000-seat ballpark? Tools of the Trade takes viewers behind-the-scenes of the demolition of the historic Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis. See how a solid steel wrecking ball, weighing more than 10,000 lbs, slams through a concrete overhang 130 feet above home base. Then as the dust settles, a 100,000 lb PC400 track-hoe, fitted with massive hydraulic UP 90 steel jaws, powers its way onto the field and takes giant bites out of the stadium’s concrete deck.
