Busch Memorial Stadium 1973
On May 12, 1966, four days after the final baseball game played at Sportsman’s Park, Busch Memorial Stadium opened with the St. Louis Cardinals winning 4 -3 in 12 innings over the Atlanta Braves. In 1970 the grass field was replaced with Astro Turf to make the conversion from baseball to football easier.

These are the only three images from that day. A few rolls of film from that trip were damaged in processing and one of rolls was of are time in St Louis….
