Busch Stadium

Pros: Can get cheap tickets.
Cons: Overpriced food and drink.

"You are cordially invited to attend an employee appreciation night at the ballpark." That is what the letter inside the envelope containing my paycheck said. It was decorated in a Cardinals theme. I work for a small company and my boss decided to reward ...

Pros: Best Baseball Fans Anywhere, Great Franchise History
Cons: Get Ballpark Village Built! Older, flying saucer ball park!

St. Louis is a great baseball city. Upon entering Busch Stadium, I was stunned by the sea of red Cardinal's Wear in the stands. The bright red shirts and jerseys were in nearly every seat, contrasting with the green grass and outfield walls. It was...

Pros: Stadium worthy of a true "baseball town."
Cons: Parking can get tough (but, isn't that true in any city?)

To truly understand Busch Stadium, one must realize that St. Louis is a true "baseball town." While it's true that the Rams and the Blues both enjoy support in the town, but I'd wager that a lot more folks will be upset if the Cardinals are having a...

Pros: Great fans, good atmosphere
Cons: Access can be a problem, below average scoreboard

Busch Stadium replaced Sportsmans park as the permanent home for the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1960's. Since then there have been a lot of improvements and a lot of changes, but one thing remains, the sea of cardinal red that shows up to every game, hot ...

Pros: Great Fans and a Friendly, Safe Atmosphere
Cons: Center City Location

We got our first view of Busch Stadium from high atop the Gateway Arch. Gazing west, we saw hotels with rooftop swimming pools, office buildings, Anheuser Busch headquarters, the Old Courthouse where the Dred Scott Decision was rendered, and--smack in...

Pros: -----
Cons: -----

Busch Stadium is one of the most beautiful ballparks in the country. It is picture perfect with the Gateway Arch in the background, but with a new Stadium proposal, Busch Stadium could be gone soon and it breaks my heart. It is one of the oldest...

Pros: Good team, good fans, good stadium.
Cons: Polo Shirts

Busch Stadium is a surprise. It's a multi-purpose cookie-cutter stadium that WORKS for baseball. I saw a Cardinals baseball game late in the summer of 1999. I sat outfield in the Mark McGuire home-run section (bleacher seats).

I...

Pros: beautiful stadium, old-time charm, good seats
Cons: stadium is quiet except when homeruns are hit, expensive food

In 1997, the Saint Louis Cardinals acquired slugger, Mark McGwire from the Oakland Athletics. McGwire, known for his monstrous home runs, has helped draw droves of fans to the Saint Louis Cardinals’ ballpark, Busch Stadium. This year, the Cardinals find...

Pros: nice place for a game
Cons: expensive

i grew up going to games in connie mack stadium in philadelphia.it was a grand old park.veterans stadium is a boring dump and busch is definitely better. my first game there was in 1990. i have sat every where from the outfield bleachers to field box...

Pros: Cardinal tradition personified in the stadium, the fans, Mark McGwire excitement!
Cons: Summer afternoons in St. Louis can be brutal, Cardinal pitching.

I grew up 120 miles north of St. Louis and learned to love baseball and the Cardinals by the best promoter of all time -- Harry Carey! We'd go down to St. Louis once every summer and see a game at the old Sportsman's Park, so I was a bit saddened when...

Pros: Great fun
Cons: Crowded, but what do you expect??

I've been to Busch Stadium several times. The St.Louis Cardinals have been wildly popular lately, but thats not the reason I like to go. It's just the atmosphere. Nowhere else do I feel that kind of excitement in the air. The only thing that really gets...

Pros: Got rid of Turf. Huge Scoreboard. Ozzie Smith played there!
Cons: 20% of those attending games are die-hard fans. The rest are socialites.

If you are ever in Saint Louis during baseball season, you must go see a game at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals have the 2nd most World Championships next to the Yankees, and fortunately they are not the best team that money can buy.

Back to...

Pros: Great stadium, lots of seating, not many obstructed views, sense of history
Cons: parking can be a problem unless you can afford to pay $5-8, always a line at the female restrooms!

Busch Stadium is one of my favorite baseball venues in the country! It is open, airy and comfortable. I love the good seats, the boxes and even the cheap seats in "nosebleed"! The St. Louis fans are the best. Everyone is pumped, excited and...

Pros: Lots of room, lots of good seats
Cons: nose-bleed section too far away from field

Since my childhood, I have been in Busch Stadium many times.

The ballpark was originally a rather drab ballpark, built from the same cookie-cutter mold as Cincinnati's Cinergy Field and Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium. AstroTurf, fully...

Pros: fair ticket prices, easy to get to
Cons: outrageous food & beverage costs

I love watching baseball anywhere, from Little League to major league. And I love going to Busch Stadium. I live about 20 mintues outside of St. Louis, so I have been to the park many times. Every time I go, I am reminded that we have the best baseball...
