New Busch Stadium


St. Louis, MO
New Busch Stadium
Summer 2006
http://www.cardinals.mlb.com/
Game Day Atmosphere: Electric, best I've ever seen anywhere. The entire downtown area is buzzing for a normal regular season game.
Stay: Right downtown and walk a few blocks to the stadium. You'll enjoy the walk and the buzz as you draw closer to the ballpark.
View: Incredible with the arch in the outfield, plus downtown.
Arrive: Early to soak in the environment and make sure you wear RED! The entire crowd does and so should you!
Concessions: TONS of them and TONS of workers calling out "no waiting here." Grab the largest pretzel you'll find at any ballpark. Dogs are good and of course, you must grab a home brewed Budweiser.
Not advertised: TV's all along every concourse and some in bathrooms with radio play by play loud and clear so you don't miss any action taking the little ones to the potty.
Not in the box score: Cardinal fans are noted as the most baseball knowledgeable fans around. They also stay to the bitter end no matter the score.
Final Box:
Cincinnati Reds 9, St. Louis Cardinals 0
Attendance 43,857 Time 2:43
