The Fair commission initially looked into utilizing land a block away from riverfront land, but after citizen did not desire this, the company looked at Forest Park.
The leasing fee totaled $1,378,000 (equivalent to $41,559,459 in 2021). This allowed the Fair Company to utilize 1,240 acres for the Exposition.
An additional $100,000 (equivalent to $3,015,926 in 2021) rent was paid to Washington University by the Exposition Company when the Fair was delayed to 1904. The funds were used to build additional facilities for the Fair and University.
