How many people actually showed up? Attendance was listed at 20,500 the last two nights. Obviously those were tickets sold and not butts in the seats.desertrat23 wrote: ↑28 Jul 2025 23:16 pm Second-lowest non-COVID crowd in Busch III history.
Bill, Bill, Mo… at least you saved some money, eh?
There was no turf in 1966 at the then new Busch Stadium yet. But I remember when Casey Stengel was asked what he thought about the new stadium, and he remarked, "It sure does hold the heat."Goldfan wrote: ↑29 Jul 2025 17:24 pmWas it ‘66 All-star game……cleats melting on ASTROTURF……but its never been hot in STL before….Cranny wrote: ↑29 Jul 2025 16:51 pmReally?

Interesting numbers...Mo-ran's legacy...people can make excuses if they want...but this team is as dull as the POBO...no stars, no energy...glad the fans are finally giving the middle finger to DeTwit!Dewey Kuey wrote: ↑30 Jul 2025 15:21 pm These numbers trending down has nothing to do with the weather.

Well, this is what many here have been clamoring for, as if it will induce the DeWitts to go on a spending spree. We’ll see. I suspect it will simply mean more mediocrity.Dewey Kuey wrote: ↑30 Jul 2025 15:21 pm These numbers trending down has nothing to do with the weather.
