For more than a century, Cardinals baseball has been a source of
excitement and civic pride. With 11 World Series Championships,
19 National League Pennants, and a rich history of winning baseball
by the storied franchise, St. Louisans bleed Cardinal Red.
Since the ownership group led by Bill DeWitt Jr. purchased the
Cardinals from Anheuser-Busch in 1996, the Cardinals have posted
the fourth-best record in the majors and advanced to the postseason
14 times, including two World Series championships and four National
League pennants.
In 2019, the NL Central division champion Cardinals drew more
than 3.4 million fans to Busch Stadium (second-most in MLB)
and ranked No. 1 in local TV ratings. The team’s home market fan
base spans a 10-state region, drawing a large number of visitors to
St. Louis annually, pumping millions of dollars into the local economy
and helping local businesses.
The upcoming season will see the completion of the Cardinals’
and The Cordish Companies’ $260 million second phase of Ballpark
Village—a full build-out of Clark Street that includes a 29-story luxury
residential tower (One Cardinal Way) and a Live! By Loews luxury hotel,
in addition to the recently opened PwC Pennant Class-A office tower.
Whether for the day, the weekend, or the full season, the team
looks forward to welcoming every fan to the ballpark in 2020.
For over half-a-century, Blues hockey has dug its roots deep
into the fabric of the St. Louis community, cultivating one of
the most passionate and loyal fan bases in all of professional
sports. In 2019, the relationship between the Blues and their
beloved city and fans came to a thrilling crescendo, as the
team brought home the first Stanley Cup Championship in
franchise history. The unprecedented title run, from worst
to first in the NHL, further solidified the Blues as one of the
most storied organizations in the NHL. With a championship,
nine division titles, a Presidents’ Trophy, and more
than 20 alumni enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame, the
Blues have carved out a unique stake in hockey lore.
Led by a local ownership group, the organization has
worked tirelessly to grow its footprint by engaging the
St. Louis community and its fans everywhere and providing
a first-class experience across all its platforms.
In the summer of 2019, Enterprise Center completed a
three-phase renovation project, revitalizing the building and
elevating it to an elite level shared by the greatest venues
around the country. From the unparalleled action of a Blues
home game to a collegiate rivalry game to world-renowned
musical acts, Enterprise Center has established itself as
the cultural epicenter of the city of St. Louis.
The St. Louis Blues look forward to welcoming you
downtown soon.
