About Sportsman's Park
Sportsman's Park sits at the northwest corner of Grand Boulevard and Dodier Street in St. Louis, a historic multi-use baseball venue that hosted the Browns and Cardinals, plus NFL games in certain years. Opened in 1902 and renamed Busch Stadium (Busch Stadium I) in 1953, the site gained fame for All-Star Games in 1940 and 1948 and World Series games in 1926, 1928, and 1944. Though the park itself was demolished in 1966, the legacy remains a cornerstone of St. Louis baseball history. This page provides a practical guide to what you need when exploring or studying the site’s storied past, including seating information, parking, transportation, and nearby hotels and dining options to help you plan a visit or research trip with ease.
While Sportsman's Park no longer stands, the site later became the Herbert Hoover Boys Club (now part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis). If you’re in the area for a baseball history tour or a city exploration, we’ve got you covered with practical details about where to park, how to get around, and comfortable lodging and dining nearby. Consider exploring the broader St. Louis sports history trail, which connects you to Busch Stadium complex eras and other historic venues in the city.
