With a great view of downtown St. Louis and the magnificent Gateway Arch, and with the perfect balance of a classic ballpark and a modern venue, Busch Stadium is a great place to catch a game.

The food/drink here is pretty good, though I certainly can't comment on every item/shop. I purchased a frozen mango margarita, pastrami dog, and soft serve ice cream: all were great. The drink was solid (tasty and not too strong), though I honestly would've preferred a non-alcoholic version, but they were nowhere to be found! The pastrami dog was amazing and I highly recommend it. The ice cream was perfectly normal. Prices at the vendors are high, no doubt, but ultimately no higher than any other professional sports venue in the country. I had heard that they served a "Bratzel" (bratwurst/pretzel combo) but was told by an employee that they stopped serving it ~10+ years ago.

We sat in section 446, in the highest section behind the first base line, closer to home plate. They were fantastic seats and we were able to see everything very well. From about 6-7 PM the sun was kind of in our faces, but it was at an angle and wasn't too bad. Be careful if you're sitting further along on this side; the sun was out for even longer for those sitting in right field.

There isn't much to see immediately around the stadium, so I don't necessarily recommend getting here with tons of time. I also didn't see much inside the stadium to do/see (though my search was by no means exhaustive).
