The Spirit of St. Louis

The current Busch Stadium, opened in 2006, sits in the heart of downtown with the Gateway Arch towering in the distance. But it’s just the latest chapter in a city where baseball pride runs deep — a tradition carried over from two previous stadiums with the same name.

A Park That Breathes Cardinals History

From the red sea of fans in the stands to statues of legends like Stan Musial outside the gates, everything at Busch screams Cardinals baseball. It’s a stadium designed to showcase the team’s rich past while offering state-of-the-art amenities.

Legendary Cardinal Moments

  • 2006 World Series Game 5 — the Cards win the championship in the new park’s debut season.

  • David Freese’s Game 6 walk-off in the 2011 World Series — one of the greatest clutch performances ever.

  • Albert Pujols’ homecoming bombs after returning to St. Louis.

Busch Stadium is a modern cathedral for one of the league’s most storied franchises.

Features That Make It Unique

  • The Ballpark Village entertainment district right next door.

  • Open concourses and views of the downtown skyline.

  • A stadium where winning baseball is the expectation — not the hope.
