Busch III

[Solomon]

Well, let me just say that if you need

 

a) pools and saunas

trains

c) slides

d) a production for the kids pre-game

e) any other gimmic besides the game

 

then don't go to the new Busch because you will hate it.

 

However, if you want to go see baseball, then I highly recommend it. Great view of the downtown area, huge concourses, everything that a modern stadium needs, but no bells and whistles (unless you count the text message scoreboard). Overall, it is nice and still has the feeling of a game at the old stadium. Two thumbs up. And some pics.....

Well I'm jealous that you got to see a Cubs game and I still haven't. But I will be going up there in July to watch them play the Dodgers. I got great seats in left field, can't wait to see the new Busch in person.

That's actually my third Cards/Cubs game. And I guess you don't want to hear about the time I got 4th row tickets behind the Cards dugout at Wrigley for face outside the stadium.......

I was watching a Cards game the other day and wondering if any of you Cards faithful had made it up there yet!!!

 

Beautiful Stadium!

I have made my one and only trip this year. It's nice, but tickets aren't cheap to begin with, and this is currently a scalpers paradise. Bleacher tickets are going for $60 a ticket ($21 face value), and box seats for a series against Milwaukee in early August are going for over $400 a ticket right now online.

That is nuts?

All right, I lied. I found tickets for later this summer for a wid-week game and will be making another trip after all.

I hope you are not paying that much???

Nope, there are a few midweek games that still have some tickets available and I found some decent seats in early August. Plus, I figure for a midweek game I will be able to "upgrade" my seat about the 3rd inning.

Hey Solomon, glad to see you made it to see a game in the new busch. I love the pictures. Makes me even more excited to go in July. We have tickets for the Cardinals - Rockies games on the 14 and 15? I think that's right. Oh, and we are also heading to Atlanta fourth of july to see them play the Braves.
