i was definitely impressed. its a great stadium. to me the reds new park comes off as really small, almost like a AAA park, but new busch feels very huge and a definite MLB park. parking went up $2 for the lot i park in and food prices are insane, but that comes with going. |

i've been to 6 cardinals games thus far, and i really love the ballpark. food and drink are more, but they've always been more every year. i'm not liking that the escalators are only for the clubs and suites. that's not cool. other new parks have escalators for us po' foke too. it seems that there are a lot of people that are new to bleacher style seating and need to stop spreading out. actually i have very few complaints about the park itself, just the people in it. it's a gorgeous facility. i'm just waiting for the time when it stops feeling like i'm at a road game |

I've discovered that you get different answers from different ushers so far. I don't think everyone's on the same page yet. especially with standing room only |

ya, I was able to use them as well. I was able to use the elevators to, I thought that was for handicaped? Guess not. I have a question for whoever can answer, can the people with standing room only tickets stand where ever they want or do they have a certain area they must stand? |

In that case I want some standing room only tickets, they are cheaper and there is some really nice places around the park to stand, I walked around and there are some great spots. I would be willing to stand for the awesome views |

i bought some food out in CF in the ford plaza and was standing there watching for a second and there is a great SRO view looking directly in from dead center |

there's also tons of designated sro sections thoughout the stadium that have great views. i stood underneath the big hardee's for one game after getting kicked out of some awesome sro's next to the bank of america club. they hadn't decided if that was going to be wheelchair only. my advice: go early, ask lot's of questions. you know, your basic recon

As seen before, my view of Busch: http://stlcardinalsforum.com/index.php?showtopic=1515 1 minor league game and 1 big league game so far. Going to another game Thursday night and possibly one Sunday. Its definitely a nice park with a great view. And btw, I know exactly what you are talking about with the people in the bleachers... |

yeah, the whole bleacher thing is kinda bumming me out so far this year. i moved to the bleachers last year so i could get away from people not paying attention to the game. it seems that they have found me, they've all found me. but i'll live. it'll get better as the years go on and it goes back to just a ball game in a ball park |

I have been to two games so far and I really liked the new Busch Stadium. I sat about 10 rows up from the Cardinals dugout Wednesday when they played the Pirates and it was incredible. |

I was there today as well... out in the right field bleachers. Cardinal Club? Isn't that like the first 5 rows behind home plate? Lucky you. I was in the Redbird club Thursday. View is excellent, but I don't really utilize the club much because I watch the game... |

I haven't checked as I haven't been to the new ballpark yet, but by how much have ticket prices risen this year? I'll be amazed if you tell me they haven't
