This stadium sucks for offense.
Wouldn’t a building block wind flow BLOWING INTO the field ?
If so, blocking incoming wind would enhance hitting a HR I would think.
Am I missing something on the wind currents ?
Can't remember if an engineering group did a study or what but I do remember a telecast saying (and this was several years ago) that since the tall BPV apartment building went up the HR rate at Busch drastically decreased.

Maybe it causes a dead air area or swirling, I don't know, would hate to make an assumption and look more foolish than I already do, but I recall the HR rate going down significantly.

And the 1 ft of space between the foul lines and the stands is just Busch's way of selling a few more tickets.

I was surprised he got held, looked like he would have scored easily, but maybe he got a bad jump or something. Got two in now and first and third one out.
