A Great Combination
ST. LOUIS -- Already home to a world championship in 2006 and record-breaking attendance by baseball's best fans in 2007, Busch Stadium will soon mark another milestone in 2008 when it plays host to the first concert in the new ballpark - a concert that promises an experience like none other in St. Louis.
Dave Matthews Band with special guests The Black Crowes will christen the new ballpark as a downtown outdoor concert venue at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 7. With the majestic Gateway Arch and downtown St. Louis serving as a backdrop beyond the outfield walls, Dave Matthews Band will perform to an expected audience of 30,000-plus, promising a memorable night for concertgoers and the bands alike.
"Busch Stadium was designed and built with a vision to accommodate the very best concert offerings, and Dave Matthews Band certainly qualifies as the very best," said Cardinals President Mark Lamping. "The new ballpark will provide an extremely unique, comfortable and exciting experience for music fans, one that we think will be as good as it gets anywhere in the Midwest. And, the fact we have Dave Matthews as our inaugural concert truly makes this an historical event for downtown St. Louis."
Tickets are $75, $65 or $45 each, excluding service charge, and will go on sale according to the following schedule:
