Busch Stadium, St. Louis, MO (2006, 2009)

 
Were it not for Pujols monster homerun off of Brad Lidge in the 2005 postseason, I'd have seen the last game in the old Busch. But his walk-off sent the series from Houston to St. Louis for one more game.  However, I was lucky enough to see the first ballgame every played in the new stadium.  It was an exhibition game between the Memphis Redbirds (AAA) and our Springfield Cardinals (AA).

We made the trek up to St. Louis and hit the ballpark on a cool night on the 4th of April.  This was the view from our seats but after watching a few inning we spend the rest of the game wandering around checking out the new park and talking it up with friends were at the game as well.  The stadium wasn't completely done and the seats in the left field upper deck needed to be installed.
