Also see . . . Busch Memorial Stadium on Wikipedia. Also known as Busch Stadium II, this was the St. Louis Cardinals' home field from 1966 to 2005. It was also the playing grounds of the St. Louis Cardinals NFL team, which existed from 1966 through 1987, as well as for St. Louis Rams games in 1995. Many events, in addition to sports were hosted here, including the All-Star Game in 1966 and many concerts including the Beatles (1966), the Rolling Stones (1989), and Billy Joel/Elton John (1994). The stadium, which some considered to be the so-called "cookie-cutter" design, was demolished in 2005 and replaced by Busch Stadium III in 2006.
