Solomon Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) 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.....

goldenboy Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 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.

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Solomon Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuggly63 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 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.
