Opened in 2006, it replaced Busch Memorial Stadium (aka Busch Stadium II) and occupies a portion of that stadium’s former footprint. A commercial area, dubbed ‘Ballpark Village’, was built adjacent to the stadium over the remainder of the former stadium’s footprint.

Other than baseball, the stadium hosts soccer matches and has also hosted an NHL Winter Classic between the St. Louis Blues and the Chicago Blackhawks in 2017.
