Many of these stadiums demonstrated modern feats of [[engineering]] and [[architecture]], but also demonstrated a transition occurring for the American public at the time—traditional to the cutting edge.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ballparkdigest.com/2015/04/13/the-birth-of-modern-baseball-design-1965/|title=The birth of modern baseball design: 1965|last=Reichard|first=Kevin|date=April 13, 2015|website=Ballpark Digest|language=en-US|access-date=December 3, 2019|archive-date=December 3, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191203000550/https://ballparkdigest.com/2015/04/13/the-birth-of-modern-baseball-design-1965/|url-status=live}}</ref> At the time of design, the Busch Stadium II was planned to be used for several purposes.
