Busch Stadium sells by named area rather than by level alone: the Cardinals Club sits behind the plate in sections 1-8, the Diamond Box rings the infield at 140-145 and 155-160, and the Infield Field Box fills in at 141-144 and 156-160. Above them the Terrace and Upper Deck stack toward the Arch, and the Budweiser Terrace occupies levels 3 and 4 in right field as a gathering space rather than a seating block. There are bars on every level.
Tips & Fan Reports
I learned I enjoy center mezzanine where you can see everything rather than lower level. Buy the cheapest tickets and explore - Busch Stadium is a beautiful park no matter where you sit.
The Diamond Box is sections 140-145 and 155-160; the Infield Field Box is 141-144 and 156-160. The names overlap more than the maps suggest, so check the section number rather than the category.
The Terrace Level is where the Arch enters the picture, which is the shot everyone wants.
There are bars and gathering spaces on every level, so a cheap seat does not mean a long walk for a drink.
Every Cardinals Club section — 1 through 8 — sits behind netting. If you want nothing between you and the field, sit outside them.
Where to Sit
Every tier in the building, what it costs, and what you give up to sit there.
Cardinals Club (Sections 1-8)
$180 - $450+Most expensive tier
Directly behind home plate in sections 1 through 8, on the axis of every pitch.
Pros
- The best sightline in the ballpark for watching an at-bat
- Club service behind the seats rather than the general concourse
Cons
- Every one of sections 1-8 has netting or screening in front of it
- The most expensive seats at Busch
Infield Diamond Box
$120 - $350The lower bowl ringing the infield at sections 140-145 and 155-160, level with the field.
Pros
- Closest ordinary seats to the infield action
- Straight onto the main concourse
Cons
- The sections nearest the plate carry netting
Field Box
$60 - $180The lower bowl beyond the Diamond Box, running out toward the corners at sections 141-144 and 156-160 and beyond.
Pros
- Lower-bowl seats at well under Diamond Box money
- Level with the field the whole way round
Cons
- The corner sections angle across the diamond rather than into it
- Little cover from sun or rain
Redbird Club
$100 - $280A club space rather than a seating block, used for larger dinners and events as well as games.
Pros
- Indoor club space, which an open-air St Louis summer makes worth having
- Doubles as a function room, so the space is a real one rather than a wide concourse
Cons
- Sold as hospitality and often booked for events
- Check what view the ticket actually carries before buying
Terrace Level
$30 - $100The middle deck, set back with the whole field, the outfield walls and the Gateway Arch beyond them.
Pros
- The classic Busch Stadium view — field and Arch in one frame
- Genuinely cheap for a full-field sightline
Cons
- Far enough up that faces stop being faces
- A climb from the main concourse
Budweiser Terrace (Levels 3-4, Right Field)
$35 - $90A gathering space on levels 3 and 4 in right field, looking back across the outfield.
Pros
- A social space with a bar rather than a row of seats
- Right-field height, so you see the whole outfield play
Cons
- Not a seat — the wrong ticket for nine innings sitting down
- Home plate is at the far corner
Upper Deck Bleachers
$15 - $50The top deck, high over the field with the Arch on the skyline beyond.
Pros
- Among the cheapest tickets at Busch
- The widest view of the park and downtown St Louis
Cons
- Bench seating rather than seats with backs
- Steep, and exposed to the sun
Rooftop Terrace / Standing Room
$10 - $35Cheapest tier
Standing room and rooftop space rather than an assigned seat.
Pros
- The cheapest way into the ballpark
- Freedom to move between the bars on every level
Cons
- No assigned seat
- The good rail positions go early on a warm night

How We Checked This Page
Every section below names the source it was read from and the day it was read. Where we could not reach a published figure, the page says so rather than presenting an estimate as a checked fact.
- Seating
Cardinals Busch Stadium seat map, 3D seat map, netting page and premium all-inclusive ticket pages on mlb.com/cardinals
- Venue policies
Busch Stadium policy, security, accessibility, dining, parking, family-admission, and mobile-ticket pages reviewed for entry, family, payment, food, and accessibility rules.
Not yet checked against a published source
These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them — concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces — so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
