Cardinals/Busch Stadium

[omaha_red]

don't you have any idea of the time it is? i mean, if you go to a 7:15pm start and the game is in the 5th inning.. it's a good guess that if one of the hands is at the 2, and one is at the 8, that it's not 2:40.. am i right?

It's like you jumped into my head, and stole everything I was going to say.

If you have to actually think where hands should be on a clock at that particular time then something is already wrong. A good clock should be able to tell you what the time is in a single glance and not require deciphering.

i don't understand this.. do you want me to buy you a watch?

I haven't heard this "theme" song you refer to, and find it somewhat discouraging that we have one, but it can't be as bad as "Go Cubs Go", can it?

nothing beats this

Perhaps the clock was not designed to be read by those who need to stare directly upwards to see it.

Was ever a clock designed thusly?

If you are in Busch 3 and sitting directly under the clock and you want to know what time it is, what you do is LOOK FORWARDS because there's a digital clock near the press box.

I don't really have any complaints about Busch III. The only complaint I have is the giant asteroid crater that's located just ouside of the stadium beyond left field. Hmmmm, i wonder when they are going to fill that thing up.

My biggest gripe at the stadium is just navigation. I can't find the right stairway or escalator, and when I do find one I'm usually being harassed by a swarm of cranky 75 year old men in red shirts telling me I'm in an unauthorized area. First ballpark I've ever been to where I ended up in an unauthorized area.

I thought I was going to get in trouble one day because the usher kept yelling at people to "keep it moving, keep it moving, .." as we transferred from one escalator to the next. Naturally, I slowed down. He didn't appreciate it, and got in my face while repeating "Keep it moving". I told him to cram it, I'd had it with mean old ushers that day.

Yeah, the new place is really hard to figure out which steps/elevators/escalators go where. Plus they did away with the old system where the middle number of your ticket corresponded with the closest gate number (i.e. 342 was near gate 4). To the whole seating arrangement, I give a hearty WTF?

its to coincide with the pitching staff

Really once you go to a few games its pretty easy to figure out what escalators go where.

Where would you even find the nearest Quailwurst stand outside of the 100 level? I pity those poor peasants.

I normally sit in the bleachers, which is easy.

It gets confusing the couple times a year I'm in other seats, and have no idea how to get to them.
