    Enjoy it! Let us know what you think of the park. Sadly, I never got to visit the old one - it's one of the few I haven't seen.

    I already went to the second game ever, and the first night game, at the new Busch Stadium. Its definitely different. The ballpark is a little more compact, but the upper deck seats are closer to the field. On Wednesday, I sat in Row 1 of Section 166. These were the Outfield Box Seats. They cost $38 face value ($43 on "Premium" games). I was 20 feet from the field, as there were a few rows of $80 seats in front of me and $80 seats 5 seats closer to home plate. Needless to say, those were some of the best "value" seats in the house. I will be sitting in Section 263 on Friday. These go for a face value price of $38 ($43 once again for "Premium" games) but since its the Cubs, its a premium game. I got these for $45 each. What do you want to know about the new Busch? I will try to answer.

    Yes, the beers are really expensive. But with people buying season tickets at upwards of $75 per seat per game, the Cardinals will still sell a ton of beers.

    I have never been to any other stadiums except for Wrigley and US Cellular. I hope to see the new stadium soon because my buddies and I are gonna travel to a few of the parks this summer.

    Just to let you know, most games are already sold out. Ticket brokers have lots and so does eBay. I recommend eBay, especially for games against none marqui opponents. I am looking to get a bargain of 6 seats together for possibly under $100 (which is under face value) off of eBay for a game.

    I heard they already sold over 3 million seats. Besides eBay I also use StubHub.

    I use the metrolink. It only cost $1.75 each way. If you want section suggestions, I have some now, and I will be able to give you more after the game.

    The game is five days away and Rusch pitched today. Williamson is the probable starter on ESPN, but I can still hope
