Cardinals Approved to Increase Capacity at Busch Stadium

The St. Louis Cardinals have announced that they have received approval from the City of St. Louis and the health department to increase capacity at Busch Stadium beginning with their May 21st home game against the Chicago Cubs. Seating pods will now be spaced a minimum of three feet apart in all directions, allowing Busch Stadium’s capacity to roughly double. Additional tickets for the May 21-23 weekend series against the Cubs are on sale now at cardinals.com or by calling 314-345-9000. To accommodate the increase of guests at the ballpark, gates will now open two hours before first pitch for Friday-through-Sunday games and an hour-and-a-half before first pitch for Monday-through-Thursday games.
