Busch Stadium's basic structure is concrete. The stadium is basically a two-deck facility with about half its seats in each deck. The seats completely surround the field without posts or columns to obstruct fans' views. The nearly circular structure has an outside diameter of more than 800 feet, covers more than 12 acres and is 130-feet tall, measured from the playing field to the top of the stadium. The playing field at Busch Stadium is 10 to 30 feet lower than street level.
Spectators move from the entrance level either up or down to seating areas.
There are eight major entrances. Busch Stadium capacity is 49,779. All rights reserved.
