Cardinals fans looking for parking near Busch Stadium have two main options to choose from: snatch up one of the official parking spaces at Ballpark Village next to the stadium, or find a good deal at one of the garages or lots in the surrounding neighborhood.
Busch Stadium is home to the MLB’s St. Louis Cardinals. Busch Stadium opened in April 2006, and the Cardinal’s became the first team in over 100 years to win a World Series in the same year of a new ballpark opening. The 46,000 seat stadium doubles as a concert venue and is surrounded by a vibrant bar scene for game days.
