While it is a very nice looking ballpark, Busch has just way too much crap going on. Whether it's because the common fan lacks the attention span to watch the entire game or too many idiots are bringing their toddlers to the game, who knows?
The merch stands and food stands are fine. The store doesn't bother me either. It's all the other crap going on. You've got a batting game and speed pitch deal that I know is common place anymore at ballparks, but is it really necessary? Shouldn't the "Best Fans in Baseball" be watching the game rather than clowning around?
Another attention grabber would be all the garbage that's showing on the jumbo screen. Games, fan contests, marriage proposals and ads flash in front of your eyes. With the guessing games, people actually take it seriously and cheer if the selected the best answer. Like it matters! No one cares if you correctly picked which hat had the ball under it or what the attendance is. You shouldn't cheer that. You should be cheering that it's over and the next inning is starting.
The worst thing about Busch is all the singing and dancing going on. Kids from the ages of 5 to high school are singing and dancing their hearts out. Why? Is this what the creeps in St. Louis like? They're goddamn pervs! I know it's to put asses in the seats, but if the only way you can do it is by offering schools a chance to do dance/choir/gymnastics before the game, you need to reevaluate your team and fanbase.
When you have to put on a show just to keep people at the game, then you've already lost those people. That's what gives Wrigley it's charm. No gimmicks. No performances. Win or lose, it's always baseball.

I don't know what wrigley you are talking about but I think its safe to say that more than just baseball goes on in Wrigley especially out in the bleachers. And when it comes to side show singing acts I'm pretty sure there's a notorious sideshow that goes on there during the 7th inning stretch.
first of all i wouldnt mind prison shankin this guy for one its tradition ya dumb fuck and for 2 that last like couldnt be closer to the truth busch is a terrible place to watch a ball game
i wouldn't say it's a terrible place to see a game. You get a really good view no matter where you sit. Im not referring to the seventh inning stretch at any game. But the Cards always seem to have kids doing dance or gymnastics either on the fiedl before a game or out behind the centerfield bleachers. The ballpark is a ballpark. I want to enjoy the game, not have a bunch of kids shoved down my throat. As far as the bleachers go, yeah maybe a little more drunken bs goes on in the wrigley bleachers than anywhere else, but I wouldn't say thats any different than any where else... Until those shit fucks throw trash on the field. That's pathetic. But that's also a-typical Chicago idiot drunks.
Great comments guys
