Where is the highest location in the 314 for Cards fan base

West suburbs? What makes it easy and safe to attend

Move to nice suburbs and relocate BPV

With a retractable dome to boot
Maybe they could just make it into a new wing of Lambert Airport

why would they stay?

it's an older stadium that does not have some things the newer parks offer.....most prominently a retractable roof and A C

those who attend pay an "entertainment tax" to the city on every ticket

there is a city earnings tax that every player...including visitors must pay

there are parking issues

and there are safety concerns

a new stadium in an adjacent county can address those issues

They should name the new stadium Albert Pujols Stadium and put it on Yadier Molina way. Near Festus.

New stadiums usually have a corporate sponsor name, or some inclusion of local government..

But naming infrastructure after prominent players is a good call…

We were just in Arlington and drove to the stadium on Nolan Ryan Parkway…

Well…..that could hurt concession sales….

but it could be a complex with recognition of cards history surrounding the park…

Instead of an outdated stadium in a war zone they have now,,

Disappointing that you have stooped to name calling…

Nevertheless, your attachment and fascination with the city is challenging to understand……..and more than a little troubling..

I would gladly endorse the old schmuck for one of those silly red jackets if it would help get the club out of the city…

Such a grannie.

Create an OP about moving the STL stadium, and 45 is all over it with reply after reply.

"Yep! Let's go west! So dangerous! And taxes! boo hoo! I'm scared!"

Wadda grannie.

No, they shouldn't.

...this stadium is fine.

...but the city is a real armpit.
