Busch Stadium is the third stadium in St. Louis to carry the name. The first Busch Stadium was originally called Sportsman’s Park and was renamed Busch Stadium in 1953. The current Busch Stadium, also referred to as “New Busch Stadium” or “Busch Stadium III,” opened on April 4th, 2006. It replaced Busch Memorial Stadium (aka Busch Stadium II) and occupies a portion of that stadium’s former footprint. The current Busch Stadium was designed by Populous (then known as HOK Sport) and built by Hunt Construction with an estimated cost of $344.8 million, which proved too low by $20.2 million to its final cost of $365 million.

The nearest airport to the Busch Stadium is St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) which is located about 18 miles from the stadium.
