Baseball Heaven

2006 is the inaugural season at the new Bush Stadium (home of the St Louis Cardinals). When I arrived in St Louis last year, the new stadium had been partly built & the old 'cookie cutter' Bush Stadium was about to be demolished.

The works had a box at the old stadium & they also have a box at the new stadium. As St Louis is a baseball city, & there are a lot of baseball fans at work, I was really lucky to get the opportunity to watch a game in the box.

The box is almost behind home plate & as it is up on the first level you get a really good view of the pitch. Most of the seating is outside on the balcony, but there are also sliding glass doors, so if the weather isn't so good, you can be protected from the elements whilst still watching the game. As well as the usual corporate facilities in the box, there is also a selection of baseball memorabilia displayed which is a nice touch.
