Busch Stadium
St. Louis, MO
314-421-3060
After spending the day touring the city of St. Louis, going up in the Arch, watching a Lewis and Clark IMAX show, taking a riverboat cruise, I headed to the ballpark. It had been rainy all day. This was the first interleague game to be played at Busch Stadium. Cardinals vs. Cleveland Indians.
At around 7 pm, the grounds crew started taking the tarp off the field. 10 minutes later, they put it back on. I sat in my seat 3 1/2 hours, umbrella over my head, as it rained the entire time. I finally left. They did eventually call the game. I was disappointed. I did get to peer at David Justice through my binoculars.
Busch Stadium is a pretty stadium in the downtown area. The fans really support their team. That was quite nice to see. There is public transportation to the stadium (train). Nice.
There's plenty to see and do in St. Louis besides baseball. Click on the St. Louis Area website to the right to link to the city's convention and visitor's website. It's a good website. Takes a while to load but has lots of tourist information.
