"Stan The Man", was on hand to rededicate "The Musial Statue" We Spoke to fans to get there reaction to the new place, Produced by Photojournalist, George Wise A Quick Note: The design of the new Busch Stadium took into account the context of downtown St. Louis, the colorful history of the Cardinals, and the best attributes of the most successful ballparks built around baseball since the construction of Oriole Park at Camden Yards in 1992. With classic arched openings recalling the nearby Cupples Station warehouses to the rich warm colors of the Wainright building, this ballpark is inspired by the classics. However, its creative use of old and new materials, from brick and concrete to exposed steel and glass, creates an architectural statement that stands on its own, with a modern sensibility appropriate for the 21st century. Of course, the premium spaces of the new Busch Stadium offer the comforts of air conditioned space and gourmet food offerings to many of the fans. But all fans are able to experience service upgrades in several key areas. Wider concourses all around, elevators and escalators between levels, and perfect baseball sight lines for all seats in the ballpark are obvious improvements over the old Busch Stadium. Every fan who comes to the ballpark also enjoys improved concessions, family entertainment options, and restroom conveniences that were impossible to provide in the old stadium due to its age and restricted configuration. There are also a number of unique standing room and group gathering areas that give fans limitless opportunities to roam the ballpark and take in spectacular views of the action on the field.
