After the heated controversy of building a new ballpark, it seems those opposed to a new stadium were correct. The new Busch Stadium is a study of what NOT to do with a ballpark. To begin with, they left the site downtown in one of the most difficult access points in the city. "You can't get there from here," is... more

I attended two games at Busch Stadium this past weekend and was really disappointed overall. I was in St. Louis for a long weekend with some boyhood friends, who get together once a year in a different MLB city for a baseball game or two. We universally agreed that the new Busch Stadium was among the more disappointing of the... more

My husband and I went for 2 games July 19 and 20th. The hottest days so far this summer. They were selling bottles of water for $5.00 (are you kidding me!!). All the food and drinks are very expensive. I have read this about most ball parks, but this is by far the most expensive we have been at. We... more

Very beautiful new ballpark. Set right in downtown, next to where the old ballpark used to be (its currently a hole in the earth, but there is a planned Ballpark Village to be built there by the All Star game in 2009. The outside of the stadium is all brick and is very nice to look at. Once inside, the... more

I went to the new Busch Stadium for the first time on April 28th. Needless to say the weather was cold but the ball park was hot!! This is how baseball stadiums are ment to be. I was given tickets by a client in the Redbird Club section. This is a private area on the 2nd level. The seats were... more

The correction first -- the new stadium was NOT entirely built with private funds, and TripAdvisor needs to fix this. There's a rebate on the ticket tax from the city large enough to make all the payments on over $40 million in bonds, and a highly favorable loan from St. Louis County, as well as $42 million in state funding... more

Beautiful stadium!!! Now I have been to many cardinals games and yes you must get over the fact that beers are extremely expensive. Here is a hint that I have been doing for years, go to the game buy a party room ticket from a scalper (I have bought tickets from scalpers over 100x and never got burned) then you... more

I thought my visit(s) to Busch Stadium were excellant! Maybe because I am partial to St. Louis and am a Cardinals fan but I feel this is a very fan-friendly stadium. If you are visiting St. Louis and like baseball then going to a game is a must although finding tickets can be hard especially on weekends. Now that they... more

Don't get sucked into their little scam called "First Pitch". It is promoted as a way for you to purchase the "extra seats" to the game. You might actually get seats if you are lucky, but all we got were "Standing room only" tickets. The procedure is complicated and is lot of trouble. You have to be in line by... more

I was a bit disappointed in the new Busch Stadium. I have now been by ball parks in Milwaukee, Chicago, Seattle, San Fran, Kansas City and Houston. Milwaukee still remains my favorite (And, I am die hard Cardinal Fan). The new stadium reminds me like a new minor league stadium on steriods (pardon the expression). I was suprised that no... more
