At the Game

Busch Stadium opened in 2006 in downtown St. Louis and is the third ballpark to bear the name — the Cardinals are one of baseball's most historically significant franchises, and the new stadium honors that legacy while being a thoroughly modern facility. It holds just under 45,600 fans and is designed with sightlines as a priority — every seat faces home plate, and the sight of the Gateway Arch framed beyond the outfield is one of the iconic images in baseball.

The Ballpark Village complex attached to the stadium has transformed the area around Busch into a genuine destination, with bars and restaurants active before and after every game. The Clark and 8th Street MetroLink light rail station is nearby, and downtown St. Louis is walkable from the park. Cardinals fans are widely regarded as some of the most knowledgeable in baseball, and the atmosphere on big game nights reflects that reputation. The Arch grounds and riverfront are a short walk for before or after the game.

Special Features

Cardinals Nation

The St. Louis Cardinals have one of the most devoted fan bases in baseball, filling Busch Stadium consistently and creating one of the loudest atmospheres in the league. The Cardinals' deep tradition — 11 World Series titles — is palpable throughout the stadium in statues, plaques, and retired numbers.

The Gateway Arch is visible from parts of Busch Stadium, serving as a striking backdrop to the downtown St. Louis skyline. On clear days from the upper deck on the first base side, the view of the Arch framing the city is genuinely memorable.

The Arch Views
The Stan Musial Statue

A life-size bronze statue of Cardinals legend Stan Musial stands outside Busch Stadium. "The Man" is one of the most beloved figures in Cardinals history, and the statue — depicting his distinctive batting stance — is a pilgrimage stop for fans before every home game.
