Where are the best seats for a pregnant woman at Busch Stadium?

The best seating options in the shade at Busch Stadium will be either on the second tier of the stadium and along the 3rd base side, or at the back of the 100 sections between third base and the left field foul pole. The Redbird Club seats on the third base side (sections 253-257) will be a great option in the back rows (opt for rows 8 and higher) as they will be out of the sun and also give you access to the climate controlled Redbird Club lounge, where you can go to watch the game through the glass in the event it gets too hot. Other good options can be found in the last rows of sections 160-163 (the back of sections 160 is one of the best for shade). The last 5 rows in these sections are rows 24-28, which is what we recommend for staying out of the sun as they will have better protection from the overhanging seating deck above. Excellent shade can be found in the upper rows of the 100 level sections between third base and the left field foul pole

Where can I find more additional legroom at Busch Stadium?

Busch Stadium is a highly segmented park with multiple levels of seating from the 100 level to the 400 level. Generally speaking, fans will find the most comfortable seats to be in the 100 level where many of the chairs are padded and a number of walkways create breaks in the seating. Additional legroom in row 1, as seen from section 428For fans considering seats in another area of the stadium, one of the best places to find more legroom is in Row 1 of the 400 level. Unlike the 200 and 300 levels where you walk down from the concourse towards Row 1 - the first row in the 400 level is at the section entrance. Because of this, additional room is added between the railing and row 1. For some shorter fans the railing may prove to be a distraction - but for larger guests the extra space to spread out is a blessing.

What time do the gates open at Busch Stadium?

With the resounding success of Ballpark Village, the area around Busch Stadium is a popular hangout before, during and after the game. Because the area attracts so many fans to the game so early, the Cardinals are known for having one of the earliest-arriving crowds in all of baseball. For weekday games Monday through Thursday, the ballpark gates open 90 minutes prior to first pitch. For night games starting at 7:15, the gates will open promptly at 5:45 and you'll have an opportunity to see the visiting team take batting practice (if the weather permits). For Friday and weekend games the gates open a full two hours before first pitch, giving fans more time to explore the ballpark. If you plan on arriving early for batting practice, do know that it is uncommon for teams to BP before early afternoon games.

What does standing room only mean at Busch Stadium?

There are designated areas at the top of most non-premium seating sections where standing room only ticket holders can stand and watch the game. Standing room only space is not reserved and available on a first come first serve basis, so we recommend getting to the ballpark as early as possible to claim the best spots (Busch Stadium gates generally open 2 hours prior to the start of the game). rnIt is the policy of Busch Stadium that all guests sit only in their ticketed seats, so while moving to empty seats may be tempting, please be aware that guests who do not abide by the ticketed seating policy are at risk of being ejected from the stadium.

Between which rows are the breaks in seating on the 100 level at Busch Stadium?

Some lower level sections at the Cardinals' Busch Stadium contain as many as 40 rows of seating. In some of these larger sections, there are walkways that break up the seating. Some fans prefer sitting close to these quick exits, while others are constantly distracted by people in the walkway. Walkway Locations Most lower level sections can be categorized as no walkway, single-walkway and double-walkway. Sections behind the Green Seats, including 146-154 are continuous and are not interrupted by a walkway. These sections are made up of only numbered rows with row 1 always closest to the field. For sections closer to the player dugouts (like 141-145 and 155-159), rows are also continuous with lettered rows followed by numbered rows. As you move down the line, the sections become a little more complicated. Some of these sections are interrupted by a single walkway, while others are interrupted twice. For these sections that have lettered rows, a small walkway is located between the last lettered row (usually L or M) and the first numbered row (Row 1). Fans seated in Row 1 in these sections may be highly distracted by patrons in the walkway. An example of a section with multiple walkways Furthermore, in these sections down the line, a large walkway separated rows 20 and above from the rest of the seating section. Fans seated in rows 20 and above will feel like they're in a separate seating section as these rows are elevated above lower rows and are accessible only by a small set of stairs. Sitting in rows 20 and above will provide more shade, while sitting in rows 15-19 will give you near instant access to the concourse tunnel.
