Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals, is a retro-chic ballpark with stunning views of the Gateway Arch and great local eats, making it a must-visit.
"It’s impossible to visit St. Louis and not hear about the Cardinals—the city is crazy for its major league baseball team. The Redbirds play in the heart of downtown at Busch Stadium, a Populous-designed, retro-classic ballpark with panoramic views of the skyline and Gateway Arch. As its name suggests, the stadium is owned by Budweiser, though visitors can find some craft beers for sale, including local favorite Urban Chestnut. In terms of eats, the toasted ravioli—a St. Louis staple—are a must-try. For pre- or post-game entertainment, head to the Ballpark Villa across the street, where you’ll find the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum, Cardinal National Restaurant, Budweiser Brew House, Fox Sports Midwest Live!, and PBR St. Louis. You can also get a closer look at the stadium on a guided tour, which meets at Gate 3 in front of the bronze statue of Cardinals legend Stan Musial."
"The St. Louis Cardinals, which ranked at No. 26 with 2.7 beers consumed a game, play at Busch Stadium. The park is famously named after the family who owned the team, not the beer. Back in the ‘50s, MLB nixed the Cardinals’ first choice, Budweiser Field, not wanting the association with alcohol. After naming the original stadium, the makers of Budweiser would release Busch Beer to get around the league’s request." - Ashok Selvam
