St.LouisBOI Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Back in October I was very bored one day and Busch Stadium was due to be destroyed the next week. So I went downtown and hung around the half new and old stadium for one last time. If you haven't read the topic line, I am in St. Louis people. Hope you enjoy! P.S. This is my first actual TR on TPR, so if I did something wrong...please give me a break now. And I wrap up this trip report with a view of Six Flags St. Louis at the top of The Ninja lifthill. Thanks for reading! Here is a view of the new stadium seating and where I am standing is where the outfield is going to be. Wow, half of the new Busch Stadium is already up and looking pretty good. This is now a unique picture due to the old Busch Stadium already gone. Another shot of the inside of Busch Stadium. If you look to the upper left corner, you'll see that workers already have taken the "nose bleed" seats out. This picture is worth a million words and the only word that I got to say is MOVE. Literally, I had to claw my way through a group of people to stick my camera through the security bars and take this picture...so you better like it! What do we have here? OMG, it's Busch Stadium which is now sadly gone. Stare at it as long as you want because you'll never see it again in person. More of Keiner plaza and the city buildings that surround it. Keiner Plaza with tall buildings and the arch reflected in building windows. That is me in a very popular and great photo op part of Keiner Plaza in downtown St. Louis. (the water is red from a Cardinals celebration...if you still don't understand, I mean the basebal team.)
PhishyBrewer Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I need to make a trip to St Louie and visit my buddy Auggie. I wonder if I can crash with him?
TheStig Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Man I cant beleave I havent been there sence 01'! It was an awsomecity, and I really need to get back up there one day. Sad to see Busch Field go though, but hey, out with the old, in with the new! Nice PTR! Colin C
St.LouisBOI Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 Yeah, I love it here...we just need more coasters! Sorry to the people who were looking for an "Elissa Friendly Place" and they didn't find it in this PTR even though across the street from Kiener Plaza is (I believe) a McDonald's but I can't stand the food. The sodas are good at least...
woah_killa Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 I go to St. Louis like once a year and I had no idea they tore down Busch stadium!!! That's some of my earliest childhood memories going down the drain!
DejaVu4Life Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Sad. My dad grew up in Memphis, so he's followed the Cardinals all his life. I was there for two games in 2002 against the Dodgers. We stayed in the Mariott across the street, and I remember seeing The entire square out our window. I had alot of fun there, especially at the Arch and the museum down with it, and the Bowling Hall of Fame. Unfortunately this was before I was in to coasters, so I didn't hit up Six Flags.
OzCatter Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Man, STL is so much better than KC, it isnt funny! I need to get back, it's almost been a full year, and this might be my last chance
