3 Reasons to Go to a Cards Game

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wash U chapter.

Looking for things to do in St. Louis or for a reason to eat 30 lbs of food in one sitting? Go to a Cards game! Cardinals games are one of my favorite things about St. Louis AND they’re just a quick, convenient metro trip away!! Here are three reasons why I love the Cardinals (but still GO YANKEES!)

 

  1. The Fans

Cards fans go all out for every single game. There is never a game where the seats aren’t covered in a sea of red. St. Louis is strictly a baseball city and you’ll understand why as soon as you step into Busch Stadium. Do they have fireworks during your home team’s game? I didn’t think so, which is exactly why you adopt the Cardinals as your home team.

 

  1. The People

I honestly don’t know what to say because I don’t love showing affection for my friends, but these people are pretty cool! And if you don’t have any friends, taking people to a game is a great way to force them to hang out with you for a whole day!

 

  1. The Food

I CANNOT stress this enough: go for the food. The food at Busch stadium makes it all worth it. Don’t like baseball? That’s fine, just pretend you do and keep going every inning to get more food. Featured above are the loaded nachos, which are just as good as they look and one of many meals you’ll eat while you’re at the game.

 

You shouldn’t need more convincing than this, but if you do contact Maggie Ruding.
