Busch Stadium FINAL OPENING GAME Panoramic Poster Print - St. Louis Cardinals, Missouri, April 8, 2

After 40 years of great baseball memories, the useful life of Busch Stadium had come to an end. Built as part of the regrettable generation of multi-purpose roundhouse stadiums of the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was nonetheless the best of its breed, and after its 1996 renovation, became a very attractive and comfortable ballpark. Nonetheless, the need for more luxury suites, better sitelines, and warmer accomodations for the players and staff, led to the building of the new Busch Stadium next door, to open for the 2006 season.

As with all prints in Arra's vast collection of panoramic sporting stadium prints, every detail is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the wide-angle panoramic image, you feel like you are there, under the bright blue spring sky, on a legendary day at the ballpark.
