Cannot wait to get to a game and pregame and postgame at BPV. Looks amazing, adding to the experience. Third Eye Blind kicked off the grand opening tonight. Quick video tour

VENUES

Busch-II-Infield: No afternoon at the ballpark is complete without a frozen treat, and Ballpark Village aims to please with that beloved St. Louis institution, Ted Drewes. A stand overlooks the Busch-II-Infield, a park that traces the exact spot where the infield of Busch Stadium II once was. Guests in the turf-covered area can socialize, eat or watch the game on the big digital screen. Outdoor concerts can be held there, as well. Hours: To be announced



Fox Sports Midwest Live!: A giant television screen — measuring 35 feet diagonally, it’s one of the largest in the country not located inside a sports venue — towers above Fox Sports Midwest Live!, the centerpiece of Ballpark Village. The venue features a restaurant serving sports-bar fare, a large bar, multiple seating areas and a stage for live music acts. Third Eye Blind christens the Fox Sports Midwest Live! stage Thursday evening; look for a lineup of national and regional acts and a “Fridays on Clark” concert series. As an added feature for warmer weather, the 100-foot-long glass roof above Fox Sports Midwest Live! is retractable. Hours: 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-3 a.m. Friday-Saturday, beginning Friday

Tengo Hambre and Tengo Sed: These two walk-up stands (each with limited seating) are located in opposite corners of the larger Fox Sports Midwest Live! venue. Tengo Hambre (“I’m hungry”) offers a brief selection of Mexican and Tex-Mex favorites, while Tengo Sed (“I’m thirsty”) slings margaritas. Hours: 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-3 a.m. Friday-Saturday, beginning Friday

Cardinals Nation: The cornerstone of Ballpark Village includes a two-story restaurant, the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum, and the AT&T Rooftop. Longtime Cardinals food-service partner Delaware North oversees the menu at the restaurant. The modern decor of the first floor honors current Cardinals teams, while the second floor’s throwback look salutes past Cardinals greats. The two decks of the AT&T Rooftop offer more than 330 all-inclusive ticketed seats (cost is subject to dynamic pricing, based on the day and opponent) with an impressive view from right field toward home plate. Hours: 11 a.m.-midnight daily, beginning Friday (Hall of Fame and Museum open 10 a.m.-8 p.m. daily, beginning April 7)

Drunken Fish: The fourth St. Louis location of sushi restaurant Drunken Fish stands at Ballpark Village’s northeast corner. Diners will find nigiri sushi and sashimi as well as Drunken Fish’s signature over-the-top sushi rolls. Stir-fried noodles and such entrees as sesame tuna and tempura shrimp are also available. The house cocktails feature numerous flavored-vodka-based concoctions. Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Monday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Tuesday-Wednesday, 11 a.m.-1 a.m. Thursday, 11 a.m.-3 a.m. Friday-Saturday, beginning Friday

Budweiser Brew House: This restaurant and bar from the King of Beers sprawls across three floors of Ballpark Village and includes a beer garden and a rooftop deck with a view directly into Busch Stadium itself. The extensive menu includes steaks, seafoods and ribs. Beer is the Brew House’s focal point, of course, from the 239 taps to the menu’s suggested beer pairings to the actual ground-up beer bottles incorporated into the decor. The venue also will host concerts, beginning with country singer Joe Nichols in a private grand opening show at 8 p.m. Saturday. Hours: 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-3 a.m. Friday-Saturday, beginning Friday

Howl at the Moon: The short list of dueling-piano bars in St. Louis adds Howl at the Moon to its ranks, with a fairly intimate space for singers and pianists to go at it over party anthems and pop hits. Hours: 7 p.m.-2 a.m. Wednesday-Thursday, 5 p.m.-2 a.m. Friday, 5:30 p.m.-2 a.m. Saturday, beginning Friday

PBR St. Louis: Country-western music fans — and anyone interested in giving it a go on a mechanical bull — will love the more rustic PBR St. Louis, a cowboy-themed bar. The Barn, a small concert club inside PBR St. Louis, has a ski-lodge feel and is backed by a stage in front of a stone fireplace. Hours: 9 p.m.-3 a.m. Thursday, 4 p.m.-3 a.m. Friday-Saturday, beginning Friday

Originally it was no baseball caps on the 2nd floor of the Brew House, and now they axed that so caps anywhere anytime.

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – Some Cardinal fans were wary of Ballpark Village’s dress code requirements. Now, there is no need to fret. The entertainment venue says the new dress code is best described as “baseball casual.” Fans may wear jerseys and hats any time.

They changed this since yesterday?

The company that has this has gotten in trouble before for having dress code rules to exclude urban look, a few have already spoken out about the dress code

White trash not allowed, I love it.

Who the frick goes to an upscale establishment and wears anything that they banned? Sweat pants? Clothing with profanity on it? Sleeveless t-shirts?

I applaud them for it, lot of other upscale bars/clubs in STL have the same dress code as well, glad they put it in place there too.

Rick Vaughn will be disappointed.

Of course, he has to put Crisco, Barbasol, and Vagisil on the ball.

Looks awesome. The Rockies turned their mostly unused right field upper deck into a huge area called "The Rooftop." Not nearly as crucial as this, but a nice upgrade to an already nice park.
I plan on checking it out on Opening Weekend.

This looks like an awesome addition to Busch.
