4. Busch Stadium — St. Louis Cardinals

St. Louis is one of the best baseball towns in the MLB.

Every spring, it seems as if the city stops what it’s doing and go root for their St. Louis Cardinals. Cardinals baseball is more than just a sport in this Midwestern city, it is a religion, and Busch Stadium is the cathedral.

This is the second incarnation of Busch Stadium. The original stadium served a dual-purpose of hosting both baseball and football. However, when the football Cardinals left, Busch Stadium One became the home for the Cardinals baseball team.

However, it was cavernous, so a new home was needed for St. Louis’ beloved baseball team. Enter Busch Stadium Two, which opened in 2006 and has seen numerous great baseball to fit this cathedral of a ballpark. The amenities are more modern, and the area surrounding Busch Stadium has turned into a hot spot for Cardinals fans. Enter Ballpark Village, a collection of bars and restaurants that have become the perfect hangout spot both before and after Cardinals games.

Busch Stadium has become the perfect spot to watch and enjoy baseball (if you’re a Cardinals fan, that is), and there was no way that, combined with the growing iconic stature of the stadium and how Cardinals management consistently put a winning product on the field, that it would miss out on being in the top five. If it was not for the last three ballparks on this list, Busch Stadium would easily contend for the top spot.
