After months of offseason roster shifts and a competitive spring training session, baseball season has officially returned. While the Cardinals aim to bring another World Series trophy back to St. Louis, consider trying out these great tips when you go to Busch Stadium this summer.

1. Bring Your Own Snacks

Did you know that you can bring a bucket of fried chicken into Busch Stadium? Yep. It’s true. Outside food and drinks are permitted as long as they are sealed in a duffel, tote, cinch bag, or purse (NO Backpacks).

Just remember that drinks must be non-alcoholic and carried in a clear, plastic bottle no larger than 2 liters.

For complete details about carry-in policies, check out Busch Stadium’s Information Guide.

2. Download the Budweiser Ballpark Pass

Game tickets can be pretty expensive. Just sign up for the Budweiser Ballpark Pass to get automatic access to all home games for only $30 a month!

As a pass holder, you’ll receive:

Guaranteed standing room for each game
Tickets that scan right from your phone (No need to print anything out)
Auto-renewable bills each month (with the ability to cancel at any time)

Download the app from the App Store or Google Play for more details!

3. Get Group Tickets

If you’re going to a game with a large number of people, purchasing a group bundle is the way to go. Groups of 20+ people can receive discounts of up to 50%, depending on the game. Check out the Group Ticket Rules for more information about group benefits!

For more details about any other discounts or promotions, check out all of the Fan Value Programs!

4. Experience a New Social Venue

The Cardinals will debut the Budweiser Terrace at Busch Stadium this season. This newly-renovated common area will offer a variety of unique social amenities including:

Two full-service bars
Plenty of standing room
Comfortable lounge space
Cabana seating
An entertainment stage for live music and DJ performances

Enjoy this new stadium attraction for free. Check it out in the upper-level territory of right field!

5. Avoid Transportation and Parking Struggles

Driving to and from the ball game can be a hassle. Finding a reasonable parking spot can be exhausting and expensive. Even Car-pooling can be frustrating to coordinate.

Avoid these challenges by letting St. Louis County and Yellow Cab take the wheel. Our drivers are equipped with enough experience to get you to and from the ballpark without any worry!

Ah, Shark Week. The holiday made up by the Discovery Channel to promote the conservation and education of marine life. By now, it’s safe to say that Shark Week has become a cultural phenomenon. If you’re looking for an excuse to party, we’ve got some jaw-some suggestions for you!

Classic Shark Week Events

Shark Week 2021 Shows

You can’t have Shark Week without the shows! You can find the complete guide here. Some of the highlights this year include celebrities like Tiffany Haddish, the cast of Jackass, Brad Paisley, and Snoop Dogg. There are also some crazy new approaches to shark research like MECHASHARK, The Real Sharknado, and Dr. Pimple Popper crossing fields of study.

2021 Shark Week Race

Virtual races have become quite popular within the last year. The 2021 Shark Week Race will join the new tradition of virtual races. You can download the app for the race and receive fun shark facts at different mile markers! It’s a 44.6 mile race, but don’t worry, it’s at your own pace. Log and track your progress while listening to the curated Spotify playlist and watching videos of the beautiful Maui, Hawaii!

Sharks in STL

See Real Sharks

You can visit some real sharks at two incredible St. Louis attractions: Caribbean Cove at The St. Louis Zoo, and The St. Louis Aquarium! The aquarium is going to host a Facebook Live event introducing its audience to the sharks at Union Station. Go wild!

Bars & Restaurants

If you’ve ever been down to Ballpark Village, you may have been to the aptly named Shark Bar. Order yourself a beach pail punch in honor of Shark Week! Just make sure you don’t drive afterwards (we can give you a ride). Or if you’re feeling hungry, check out the shark-themed Syberg’s Restaurant. You can listen to live music, play some trivia, eat some of their famous wing sauce, or even order a plate of shark chunks (but maybe don’t tell the shark conservationists). For those who would rather eat LIKE a shark, there’s always Shark & Deli. There are a number of fish dinners you could sink your teeth into if that’s your jam, but there are plenty of fishless feasts available as well.

Fitness

Are you looking to get in shape this summer? Check out Shark Fitness in Clayton, MO for a boot camp to whip you into shape in the unlikely event of a land shark attack. Wanting another way to get in shape? Visit Big Shark Bicycle Company for all of your bicycle needs! While you’re riding, you can always jam out to Jimmy Buffett. Just don’t do the “Fins to the left, fins to the right” part while riding. Keep your hands safely on the handlebars!

St. Louis Sports

STL loves sports! Whether we’re bleeding blue or going to baseball heaven, St. Louis adores their major league sports. However, we are also home to a number of minor league sports teams, too. For obvious reasons, most of these teams have not had the chance to play in at least a year. Now that they’re announcing their return, it’s time to support your local teams!

Meet Our Minor League Sports Teams

Cheer on your local minor league teams to fill in the gaps for the major league sports we’re lacking. There’s a sense of community that comes with following a minor league team that just can’t be beat!

St. Louis Ambush – Major Arena Soccer League

Arena soccer has several key differences from outdoor soccer (aside from the obvious indoor/outdoor aspect). For instance, players can use the walls for rebounds, passes, and crosses. An experience like indoor soccer is exhilarating and action-packed! This November, you can cheer on the St. Louis Ambush at the Family Arena once again!

Gateway Grizzlies – Minor League Baseball

Even though you’d have to cross the river to get to the stadium, the Gateway Grizzlies are only 15 minutes from the Cardinals! If you’re looking for a different kind of ballpark experience, go check out a minor league team. You usually get to sit closer to the field for a way more affordable price. Minor league baseball is a great family environment because they typically aren’t as crowded and provide amenities for children like the Kid’s Zone. The Grizzlies also have a lot of fun theme nights as well! Here’s the thing, though: you have to at least go for the food. The Grizzlies’ ballpark is home to “Baseball’s Best Burger.” That’s not conjecture, that’s the burger’s name! It’s a bacon cheeseburger sandwiched between a Krispe Kreme donut! So bring your appetite and the whole family to a minor league baseball game!

St. Louis Surge – Global Women’s Basketball Association

We have been without an NBA team for decades in St. Louis, but we are currently home to a GWBA team! The St. Louis Surge is a women’s basketball team that calls Mabee Gymnasium at Fontbonne University its home court. Bring basketball back to the community by supporting your local teams. The 2021 season is about to wrap up, but there’s still time to support them!

St. Louis Slam – Women’s Football Alliance

The NFL is kind of a touchy subject in STL since, well…the move. We’re still pretty upset. However, the WFA is here to give you your football fix — and during the off-season! With a season going from April – July, St. Louis Slam gives you the opportunity to watch football almost year-round. Check out our four-time WFA National Champs in action when they return next year!

Sports Teams Coming to STL

STL SC Construction -STL Sports — To see more images, visit the St. Louis CITY SC social media: @stlCITYsc (all social handles).

St. Louis is attracting more sports teams. Unfortunately, the pandemic halted a lot of progress in getting these teams to St. Louis. That being said, 2023 promises to be the boom in sports that St. Louis deserves!

St. Louis CITY SC – Major League Soccer

Local soccer fans couldn’t be happier to see St. Louis finally joining the MLS! You might have seen the construction downtown from highway 64 (40). The stadium is expected to be completed next year, and the St. Louis CITY SC will officially debut in 2023. Soccer will be in STL before we know it!

Battlehawks – XFL

Okay, so the Battlehawks were JUST here, but their 2020 season was cut short due to the pandemic. St. Louis was so close to having another season of football in The Dome, but we only had 2 games to enjoy before parting ways once more. Not all hope is lost, though, because the XFL is scheduled to return in 2023, and the Battlehawks will most-likely find their battle nest back in St. Louis!

St. Louis County & Yellow Taxi encourages you to be safe and ride local! Sporting events often pair well with beer, so make sure you have a ride home. Order a cab using our app, online booking, or calling us at (314) 991-5300.
