Ballpark Village Phase 1
The construction of Ballpark Village represents the next step in the Cardinals' vision for downtown St. Louis that began with the opening of the new $411 million privately-financed Busch Stadium in 2006. Located on 10-acres just north of Busch Stadium, Ballpark Village is the first master-planned development designed around a new Major League Baseball ballpark. The $100 million first phase of Ballpark Village opened in March 2014 and represents one of the top restaurant and entertainment districts in the region. The 100,000 square foot, multi-story project is visible beyond the left center field wall, and compliments the energy and excitement of the game day experience.
The first phase of Ballpark Village is anchored by Cardinals Nation, Budweiser Brew House, Fox Sports Midwest Live!, PBR St. Louis - A Cowboy Bar, Howl at the Moon, and Drunken Fish. Ballpark Village features five live performance stages, the largest retractable roof of its kind, the biggest indoor TV screen in the Midwest and an outdoor festival space that recreates the infield of the previous Busch Stadium in its exact historical location.
