Yeah I know were not cardinals fans but personally I like the looks of this stadium and cant wait to watch a game on TV with the cards in this stadium.

i love new busch. any time i get a chance to get into new busch, i take advantage of it.

I love it. it looks amazing, but DAMN they have a lot of seating areas. At least at Comiskey (Ok, US Cellular) it's a simple seating layout. The new Busch... WOW! Tons of levels and ticket price levels.

 

Lookin' good. They get amazing fan support for a city of only 350,000.

The first hit in the Stadium's history goes to Carlos Lee, first HR goes to Bill Hall.

is this considered a pitchers park or a hitter park?

 

but it looks sweet

I don't remember what the former Busch Stadium was considered, but apparently this has the same dimensions.

How the heck did the Comiskey architects not decide to have Chicago's dowtown skyline in centerfield?? Mind-boggling.

Ever heard the term southpaw?

 

Baseball stadiums are supposed to point E to NE in CF.

It's considered "fair" by those who built it, which is what they always say. There is no way of knowing until a season pans out.

on espn.com they have a photo gallery of it. It looks real nice.

Watched part of the game today while working and it looked real nice.

Wow.

That's a good question. Over the past six years, it's varied from favoring hitters to favoring pitchers.

 

In 2005, it favored hitters slightly.

 

In 2004, it favored pitchers.

 

In 2003, it favored pitchers.

 

In 2002, it heavily favored pitchers.

 

In 2001, in favored pitchers slightly.

 

And, in 2000, it played pretty neutral.

 

So, if New Busch plays the same as Old Busch, I'd call it a slight pitcher's park, but pretty close to neutral.

Upper deck in left field still closed, believe that construction is not fully complete from watching the game earlier.

You are correct, they still have some seats to put in up there.

"I have the entire experience documented on film and will include a DVD copy of it with purchase of this one of a kind collectable. On the DVD you will see the gates open in front of me, I then am the first to get my ticket scanned, then you walk with me as I go to the concession stand, and then you see the entire hot dog transaction. I purchased two hot dogs (I ate the other)."

Im sorry, this guy is awesome.

 

It's all BS, but imagine this guy holding a hot dog for the entire game for this.

I finally bothered to look at those pictures on ESPN, and the park is really beautiful. The skyline looks great.

Simply remarkable.
