The New Busch Stadium
Dad and Mom got tickets to the St. Louis Cardinals’ baseball game for Bartek and I today. What a great experience! All the seats were sold out, so we got Standing Room Only tickets and floated around the upper deck. While it is still a bit difficult to explain to someone from Poland, like Bartek, why it was necessary to tear down the old park, which had become a well known symbol of St. Louis, and build a new baseball stadium, once you’re there it’s great!
The old stadium, built about the same year as the St. Louis Gateway Arch, blocked the view of all but the top part of the Arch to anyone inside the stadium. This new one gives the audience a spectacular view of the city.
Tomorrow morning I fly home to Budapest. I can’t wait to see my family again! Bartek will remain in St. Louis for two more weeks and continue meeting people and presenting what he does with Campus Crusade to them. He was a quick study, and I am sure he will do well after I leave. Again, when you think of him, pray for him.

so this standing room only at the new busch stadium, is it really STANDING only? or do they actually have seats and all that? I’m looking to get tickets but the only ones i can are SRO and it doesn’t sound promising.
If you could, I would appreciate you emailing me the answer! Thanks!

The gateway arch is really an impressiv building. Especially the elevators are awesome. I really recommend everybody to check it out.
