Lunch is available on own at Ballpark Village. Your first stop is a tour of Busch Stadium, home to the 2011 World Series Champions, The St. Louis Cardinals. With seating for more than 40,000 fans, this field of dreams is like no other. The design of the ballpark takes into account the beautiful skyline of downtown St. Louis, the colorful history of the Cardinals. From the classic arched openings echoing the nearby Cupples Station warehouses, to the rich warm colors of the Wainwright building, this ballpark is inspired by the traditions that St. Louisans love. The 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 its modern sensibility, the stadium is appropriate for the 21st century. Enjoy a 45-‐minute tour of the home of St. Louis Cardinals. Lunch will be available on own at Ballpark Village, located across the street from Busch Stadium.
