Busch Stadium is not a "Show-off" stadium. It's simple, right to the point of hosting baseball. Nicely built. The atmosphere is perfect for the sport.

I went to Busch Stadium this year. It went beyond my expectations. Easily a Top 10, maybe Top 5 ballpark

It doesn't surprise me at all that the Cardinals' organization would have a great ballpark because they are class all the way. Interesting story, I was once on vacation in Florida and some of the Busch family were staying in the same hotel where I was staying and I believe it was maybe Ms. Busch and one of her daughters who were hanging-out by the pool where I was staying.👍

I'm from southern California originally and a Dodgers fan. However, I lived in the St. Louis area for a year and managed to see a Cardinals game while I was there. Real nice park right in downtown. You walk into the main concourse at street level. I was in the left field bleachers. Games over and you walk right out onto the street with Ballpark Village right there if you want to hang out. The fans are a big part of it. I'm used to going to Dodger games with 45,000 people. Same situation at Busch. Big crowd, people were into the game. Wasn't like in L.A. where half the place is empty by the 8th inning because people are leaving early to avoid traffic. The game I went to went 12 innings and 90% of everyone was there to the end. Really cool vibe in there. Its a nice open park. The outfield scoreboard is pretty enormous and easy to see. Had a real good time there and would recommend a game there to any baseball fan.

As a royals fan I agree, this is one of the best stadiums in baseball. Makes me sad that none of the royals new downtown stadium renderings look remotely close to Busch Stadium

as someone who goes to 5-10 games at this ballpark per year, i 100% agree

One of the other reasons you didn't cover on Busch is the staff that works there. In my experience going to Cardinals games there, the staff is always helpful, very professional and the experience is enjoyable because of it. Even though St. Louis is one of the most dangerous cities in the US, stadium security make fans feel safe when attending games and events as well. Us Cardinal fans, while passionate about our Birds, don't ever get too rowdy at games either, which is a plus.

I think the fans are underrated. People talk about Red Sox fans, Yankees fans, Cubs fans, but the Cardinals fans have a lot of baseball knowledge. I remember when Ken Griffey Jr hit his 500th homerun and the family that caught the ball gave it back to Griffey. The fans knew how great Griffey was and how much it meant for him to hit his 500th career Homerun (with the injuries he had, his career would have ended earlier).

Ballpark village is so underrated. You’ve got the massive Bally sports live area with restaurants and the massive screen to watch, you got the rooftop seats, you got the hall of fame which you can even watch a game from with a cheap ticket and get food in the restaurant, and the other thing people don’t realize is it’s not a wide street so even from the other side you still feel like your in the stadium and have a great view. There’s tons of shade, it’s also a very cheap park to go to. You can spend 200 dollars to get a room that you share with only about 15 other people that’s air conditioned, unlimited food and drink, desert top of course, and you get your own caterer that will come to you and refill drinks and things. Or you could go to the bigger trophy room where you also get unlimited food and drink and you get to experience the history and see the trophies. The rooms are very nice and it may be expensive for some people but it’s 100% worth it. You can get first row outfield seats for 30 dollars. Even just the ballpark food is good. Top 3 ballpark maybe even the best In baseball. It’s better than even the newer stadiums like Atlanta and Texas (yes I’ve been to all three) people just see pictures and don’t realize just how good it is.

The backdrop to me is the most intriguing part of the stadium

Hate to admit it, but they got a really great museum in the Ballpark Village area every baseball fan should check out

One of the best for sure! Game atmosphere is amazing!

Dude. I’m a die hard sports fan from STL and lived in Florida most of my life Busch stadium is the best baseball atmosphere in baseball. I’ve been to almost every mlb stadium It’s the cowboys of baseball or red wings of hockey or lakers

I went to opening day this year and it is so great. I want to go every year now. Nice recognition of retired and current players, Clydesdales and beer wagon, and great crowd even tho it was really cold. So fun. ❤

went to the U2 concert there where they had the big claw stage set up in the outfield and the stage facing the stands with a walkway going around behind the stage to the outfield. It was quite a sight.

That place is so beautiful and also it new!😊❤

Diehard Cubs fan but I’d rather go to Busch than Wrigley field. Seen concerts and baseball in the stadium. And it’s simple and as a Cubs fan it kills me to say Busch is best ballpark in MLB!

I like that third upper level section from mid way third base and home plate to the right foul pole.

i like the light structures around the stadium

I never thought Busch stadium was that nice until I saw it in person up close!! It's a really nice stadium!!

Bush is one of the nicest ballparks in the majors. Sure, I love the Red Sox and Fenway is wonderful but it’s also cramped, uncomfortable and expensive. I live thirty miles from PNC in Pittsburgh. It’s a great ballpark but I could care less about the hone team. If the Ted Sox come to town I’m there but otherwise… no. St. Louis (new) is beautiful. It’s in the top six.

Best one hands down an amazing experience, you cant go wrong with any park ive been to, but this is hands down the best

I always liked this stadium and never understood why it never got more respect?

While we may not be feeling it so far this season there's a reason they're also known as the Perfectos

Kauffman is also pretty underrated too

Went to Busch the other weekend to catch a game with my girlfriend. I hadn't been since they built those apartments you mentioned, and it was really cool to see people hanging out on their own balconies watching the game! It looks like the apartment building had a watch party at the pool too, there was a big crowd there from what I could see in my 1st base seats.

With the brutal summers and BFIB , StLouis deserves a retractable roof!

Huge Cards fan so thank you for giving them some positive coverage despite the down season

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US OFF!!

When we heard that they were going to tear down busch 2 many were worried given the kinds of renovations and new stadiums that were being built. We love our stadium, has old time sportsman's park (busch 1) look to it but also has a modern amenities especially with bpv. Also the view of downtown is pretty nice too.

I'm a big fan of the neighborhood around the stadium. You should research that for us. We don't have anything like that in Philly. It would be nice to have a little community around the stadium. I envision something like Cooperstown with little diners and bars and souvenir shops and things to do that have to do with baseball.

I went there, it’s just so cool. The fans are incredible, and it’s just the best sports city. I’m sure if a multi billion dollar nba stadium was proposed 90% of the city would be on board to help fund it. It’s insane they lost the nfl. People talk so much about the crime but as long as you avoid the parts with high crime it’s a pretty safe place. You can walk the streets with your kids and be fine.

Been there once. Found an amazing wide open upper deck area with no tickets sold for some reason. We bought the seats and in about the 4th inning the sun was hitting the seats so badly that it felt like 135 degrees. It was so insanely hot and blinding we abandoned our seats and moved up to a standing / bar area that was above our seats where we stood for the rest of the game. I will never buy tix in that area again! They are above the 1st baseline area

The view of downtown is what makes this ballpark a major hit! Cincinnati messed up not facing their outfield towards downtown.

It is a great stadium located right downtown. Lots of great bars and restaurants nearby outside of the complex also. There can be parades, MLS soccer going on, and lots of other fun stuff while you are there. I like that it is open also as you get some more ventilation and don't feel like you are in an enormous bowl of some kind. Fans and staff are usually very nice and the food is great.

5:18 thank goodness the Yankees and Cardinals get to play every year now. That should have been a thing since interleague began in 1997.

I agree as a Pirates fan and when I went to Busch Stadium in 2014, I liked it

0:57 I remember going to a game midway through the first season where the tickets became available simply because they'd finished building that section!

Royals fan here. Busch is definitely a top stadium. The ballpark village is very nice too for eating/drinking and watching sports. The area basically has everything you'd want in a stadium district.

There's a reason we call it Baseball Heaven.

Do like the new version and nicer. Then old version

Busch stadium should host college football bowl game or a wwe summer slam

Thank god he’s back to making baseball videos. I’m sick of hearing about those idiots in a sub. Idc that they died they shouldn’t have been playing around in the Ocean

we Midwesterners are blessed with 3 incredible ball parks that will remain top 5 parks in Baseball for a long time (Cards, Cubs, and Brewers ball parks). It's really hard to beat any of those 3.

I've been the Busch stadium 3 for US men's soccer in 2019 in the summer it was awesome was about 20,000 people there on Fox sports 1 great video keep up the great content and and a great week the depressed Ginger

A "Real" ballpark with "Real" dimensions unlike the little league parks in Philadelphia and Cincinnati.

Busch won’t have to host soccer anymore thanks to CityPark. Probably the best soccer only stadium actually.

If it was Budweiser stadium there would have been no problem.

Although the ballpark is plain... the best part (above all other parks), is that left field street area is connected to the game. Whereas other stadiums are cutoff from the outside living experience. There's so many good views from across the street, creating a village atmosphere. Folks don't even have to be at the game, but can still feel connected by going to the venues out beyond left field.

It's nice, but I'm a child of the old Busch Stadium. I went to see games there when the dimensions were 330ft down the line, 386ft in the power alleys and 414ft to dead center. Few hitters conquered it (Richie Allen & Jack Clark come to mind).

Square lights

It's my favorite of the new retro builds. SF Giants are close 2nd.

They’ve came so far I remember when it was built I thought the opening looked terrible then now it’s a whole cardinal baseball street

The reason its underated is because its in St.Louis! Had the same ballpark was on either coast it would be called the best Stadium in baseball.

Bush definitely has a way of growing on you😂

Casino Queen Bar (left feild). Super fun

TAKE NOTE KANSAS CITY

Video idea: players with last names that wrapped around their jersey because they were so long

do an analysis like this of each ballpark

Camden Yards is great too

It isnt a masterpiece, but it has no weaknesses, everything is easy to get, every lower bowl seat is awesome.

If there is one Stadium I want to visit, it’s this one

Time to bring the All-Star game back.

There is even a spot in there where you can get $5 beers in the ballpark at least last yr haven't gone this yr.

Typical st Louis always building beautiful baseball parks best baseball city ever well done

Well I've been there a few times and I was less than impressed. Parking is expensive. The neighborhood is dangerous as is most of the city. A woman spectator was shot by a stray bullet while INSIDE the stadium watching a game. If you sit in the bleachers in the far outfield during a day game make sure you have sunglasses because you are facing into the western sun. I think they should have built the stadium in the southern or western areas outside the city because until they clean up the crime I won't go to a game there. And i say this after living , going to college and law school, and getting married in St. Louis, Spent lot of time shopping there and going to the Muny, Zoo, Fox theatre and movies houses that used to be downtown. But downtown is a barren place compared to what it once was and the crime rate in St. Louis is a national disgrace.

I like it much more than the old Busch that’s for sure. I hate artificial turf. And although It’s not on my list of my favorite new parks,it is a great park nonetheless.Built for a great baseball town.

Much better than Comerica Park.

Looks good, but like all the new ball parks, the upper decks seem so far from the field.

friggin arlington and milwaukee have a roof and BFIB don't? Hello?

My hometown team..... that stadium has awesome seating, but the St. Louis Summers...! Humid and Hot on most days/nights. It should have been a retractable roof. Seriously oof!

its not easy to navigate to the cheap seats

There is one crucial weakness of Busch Stadium III. Lower level concourses do not have an open view to the playing field.

Hopefully they change the name soon!

All the "ballpark village" things teams have going on outside of the stadium.. technically arent affiliated w/the official club & the revenue generated doesn't count towards the teams revenue

It's a very. nice park, but does have a couple of bad sight lines.

Doesn't have open concourses from what i heard

I don't like how the stadium looks and all that stuff.

i hate that style of upper deck. looks minor league

Part of the reason is that it’s located in the ghetto. I have to drive through there next week. And I can never get through St. Louis fast enough.
