St. Louis Cardinals

Busch Stadium, 700 Clark Street, St. Louis MO 63102 Google Maps

The St. Louis Cardinals play in Busch Stadium which is located a few blocks south of the downtown business district. This Busch Stadium is the third baseball park in St. Louis called Busch Stadium. Busch Stadium III opened in 2006 replacing the multi-purpose stadium that was located across the street.

There is a light rail station across the street from Busch Stadium. Two light rail lines serve Busch Stadium and downtown St. Louis. The two lines split west of downtown with one line going to St. Louis Airport and the other line going to west central suburbs. The light rail continues east from St. Louis crossing the historic Eads Bridge over the Mississippi River to Illinois.

There are large parking lots near many suburban light rail stations making it convenient to use light rail to Busch Stadium. Many visitors stay near the airport and take a free shuttle from the hotel to the airport then take light rail to the ballpark.
