What makes it iconic

  • Direct view of the Gateway Arch from the upper concourse — the dominant skyline element from the park.
  • The third 'Busch Stadium' in St. Louis history: Sportsman's Park / Busch Stadium I (1953-1966), Busch Memorial Stadium / Busch Stadium II (1966-2005), and the current park.
  • Statues of Cardinals legends ring the exterior: Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Ozzie Smith, Red Schoendienst, and others.
  • Adjacent to Ballpark Village — a mixed-use entertainment district built on the footprint of old Busch Stadium II.

Notable moments

  • The 2006 World Series title — clinched at Busch in its inaugural year, beating Detroit in five games.
  • The 2011 World Series Game 6 — David Freese's 11th-inning, walk-off home run after twice keeping the Cardinals alive.
  • Albert Pujols' Cardinals-era walk-offs and the eventual return-and-retirement in 2022.
  • Yadier Molina's 19-year career, all in St. Louis — culminating in his retirement in 2022.

  2. 2011

    Title via Game 6 magic

    David Freese's tying triple in the ninth and walk-off homer in the 11th of Game 6 became one of the great World Series moments. The Cardinals won Game 7 to clinch.
