The stadium was designed by architect Edward Durrell Stone. The roof's arched design echoed the iconic Gateway Arch, which was completed only a year before Busch Stadium officially opened. It was one of the first multipurpose facilities built in the United States from the early 1960s through the early 1980s, along with those in Washington, New York, Houston, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Minneapolis and some others. Having hosted its last game, it further reduces the very short list of baseball's few remaining "cookie cutters" and other multipurpose facilities. The original design of the stadium had called for a baseball-only format, but the design was altered to accommodate football, a fact which arguably shortened its existence.

The dimensions in center and the power alleys have been altered from time to time over the years. Initially the park was very conducive to the Bob Gibson and Lou Brock style of play, lots of room for pitchers to make mistakes, and for extra-base hits and not so many home runs. Later changes attempted to make the outfield better balanced between pitching and power hitting.

By the early 1990s, the stadium appeared to be falling into disrepair. However, remodeling in 1995 improved the park's sense of intimacy and converted the multi-purpose facility into a baseball-only park. For the band, see 1990s (band). ...

Destruction

Demolition of the stadium began at 3:07 Central Standard Time on November 7, 2005, as the location of the stadium would become part of the outfield and Ballpark Village area for the new Busch Stadium. In the days before this, many fans left their mark on the stadium by writing farewell graffiti on the exterior. Busch Memorial Stadium was originally slated to be imploded like most modern-day stadium demolitions to be able to finish construction on the new stadium in time for the 2006 season. However, due to fear of damaging the very near new stadium, it was decided to tear down the stadium with a wrecking ball piece-by-piece over a period of a few weeks. At 12:25 AM local time on December 8, 2005, the final standing section of Busch Stadium was demolished. St. ...

Trivia

• It was featured in the game Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2. In one level the player must destroy a Soviet Psyhcic Beacon that is located in the ruins of the stadium.
• From day one, the stadium's electric scoreboard, which cost $1.5 million in 1960s dollars, featured a cardinal which fluttered and chirped when the Cardinals hit a home run.
• In the inaugural game, the Cardinals defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-3 in 12 innings. The game's first pitch was thrown by Ray Washburn.
• The stadium hosted its lone All-Star Game in its first year of existence. The 1966 contest came during a record heat wave that swept the Northeast and Midwest, and several spectators suffered heatstroke. Casey Stengel, when asked what he thought of the new stadium, remarked, "It holds the heat well!"
• The Musial statue was unveiled on a Sunday in August 1968, after the Chicago Cubs had swept a three-game series; some fans feared the statue might turn out to be of Ernie Banks.
• The 1968 film Paper Lion was partially filmed at Busch.
• Parts of the 2005 film Fever Pitch filmed at Busch.
• The stadium was where the Boston Red Sox ended the Curse of the Bambino by winning the 2004 World Series.
• The naming rights for Busch Stadium were purchased by Anheuser-Busch in 1996, and the stadium's logo was then modeled after the logo for Busch beer.
• At the regular season "final game" ceremonies on October 2, 2005, the club celebrated its almost 40-year history at the "old Bottle Cap" (Busch Stadium) with a two-hour post game ceremony. The Cardinals honored 11 employees who had worked there for the stadium's entire 40 year history; it also brought back stars from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Also honored were the 2005 team and the "men who built the park," Jack Buck and August A. Busch, Jr. the founder's grandson and former chairman of Anheuser-Busch. For the first time in over a decade the Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales trotted around the warning track, while the 50,000+ fans in attendance sang "Here Comes the King!" (a Budweiser jingle dating back to the 1970s) along with organist Ernie Hays.
• The final game in Busch Stadium was played on October 19, 2005, Game 6 of the National League Championship Series. The Houston Astros beat the Cardinals 5-1, taking the series 4-2. The last out recorded in the stadium was caught by Astro Jason Lane in right field off the bat of Yadier Molina off Houston relief pitcher Dan Wheeler. Lane also hit the last home-run in Busch Stadium during this game.In tribute to the stadium, at the end of the game a loud chant of "Lets go Cardinals" went around the stadium. Exactly 50 days later, the 40-year-old stadium was only a memory.
