Busch Stadium

Home of the St Louis Cardinals baseball team

Busch Stadium is the home of the St Louis Cardinals, one of the most successful franchises in Major League Baseball with 11 World Series titles — more than any team except the Yankees. The current ballpark opened in 2006 and seats 44,000, with a particularly photogenic view of the Gateway Arch over the right-field wall.

The Cardinals draw famously dedicated crowds; even mid-week games against weaker opponents commonly fill three-quarters of the seats. The atmosphere is the main attraction — beer is cheap by stadium standards, fans actually pay attention, and the pre-game and seventh-inning rituals are observed. Tours of the stadium run on non-game days. Ballpark Village, the development next door, has restaurants and bars geared to game crowds.
