Busch Stadium Tickets
As the home of the St. Louis Cardinals, the city’s wildly popular MLB team, Busch Stadium has managed to be one of the most recognizable and important structures in the entire city. The stadium is often called the “New Busch Stadium or “Busch Stadium III” as this is the third different Busch Stadium to be built in the city of St. Louis. This new stadium was opened on April 4, 2006 and was constructed directly across the street from the original stadium. The location where the original Busch Stadium was has been demolished and an area of the city, to be called Ballpark Village, is set to be developed on top of the old stadium’s location.
The current stadium has a total seating capacity of 43,975, however, they set a stadium record in October of 2011, when the stadium held 47,399; a record that was set when the Cardinals won their eleventh World Championship in franchise history. Along with these 43,975 seats there are 3,706 club seats, 61 luxury suites and an entire sit down venue that can be rented out before, during or after the games.
During its short history the new stadium has seen two World Series Championships, including one the first year of the new stadium. This new field has also hosted the MLB All Star Game in 2009. Every year the University of Missouri also plays a single game at Busch Stadium and Saint Louis University’s baseball team has also held events there as well. Big concerts such as those from Dave Matthews Band, U2, The Eagles and the Dixie Chicks have all been held in the stadium as well.
While the Busch Stadium; named for Annheiser Bush, a St. Louis based company, has held numerous big events within its walls, it is known by many for its state of the art construction and design. Known as one of the most innovative ballparks in the league today with a number of unique features. The stadium serves St. Louis brewed beers, St. Louis favorites such as toasted ravioli and pork steak and there are also several sit down restaurants inside the stadium as well. The result is a completely unique baseball viewing experience that has to be seen to be believed, and one that St. Louis fans flock to game after game.
