It's not just a game it's... Cardinals Baseball!!

As most of you know St. Louis is CRAZY about baseball. It is the definition of a "baseball town".  Although we have a NFL team the Rams,  the NHL team the Blues, the Cardinals are by far the most popular. When you move in to town they practically give you a cardinals t-shirt and bumper sticker. If you say you are new in town, people say "Welcome to St Louis... We love the Cardinals!!" It dose not take very long to find out that they are really not kidding. We have been very lucky to attend LOTS of games while we have lived here. We have sat way up in the top levels of the stadium and in the second row. They say there is not a bad seat in the  stadium and it is kinda true. Up high you can see the arch that is cut in the grass and the field seems so big and people so small. Down low you can hear the players talk and the field seems so small and the player so big.  I would have to argue that although the higher seats still provide a good time you really can't beat the experience of the second row! The stadium is very beautiful, red brick pillars, great view of the arch and dowtown, and everything always looks new. 

We have been there in 100* weather, rain and even 2:00 in the morning. 

We have made some really great memories there with great fiends!!!

The Cardinals won the World Series last year and it was CRAZY around here. EVERYONE young and old sported their cardinal gear and colors for weeks and even months after. It was an exciting world series we were definitely on the edge of our seats for a few of the games.  

One thing that has been a lot of fun is going to a Sports Bar/Grill ordering appetizers and watching the game. Everyone there gets way into it and will cheer and clap when good plays are made, and with a win you will get hi-fives and hugs from random people. Its been really fun to be a part of it all and we will forever be cardinal fans.
