My trip to Busch Stadium

by Stuttering John Tamargo on Oct 4, 2006 9:21 PM PDT Comment 13 comments

A family gathering had me in St. Louis a couple of weeks ago, and we all took in a game at the new Busch on 09/25. It's a sight to behold - it's built much like AT&T, has a great view of downtown St. Louis (much like PNC in Pittsburgh), has a fabulous looking scoreboard, and is very RED. They played the Padres and lost 6-5. It was actually pretty cool when Jim Edmonds, like him or not, hit a pinch-hit 3-run dong to tie the game.

Here I am sporting the McCC threads, as well as my "salary cap."

Re: My trip to Busch Stadium

Sensitive, seemingly wise-ass (but not) question:

Did you see any non-white people in Busch Stadium (not including employees)?

I get the impresssion, watching in recent years, that the place is 99.99999999999% white (even moreso than Mays Field).

I thought the same thing watching the game at Yankee Stadium the other day on TV. Seems like the only non-white dude there was Denzel Washington. And this is New York! Very surprising.

Fenway was pretty white as well. Aside from Jennifer, I saw maybe 5 black people in the crowd.

Thanks for sharing the pic. If this place adds a photo album, it's be cool to get an McC shirt pic at every ballpark.

Fenway I get, because that city is pretty white (I lived there, and for a guy who grew up in DC, it felt weird). But New York?

Re: My trip to Busch Stadium

I saw more "color" at Yankee stadium (and even more at Shea) when I was there during the regular season. Maybe the demographics change when the ticket prices go up come playoff time.
