Questions about St. Louis?
I am going to St. Louis to watch the Cubs in september. i know its a long ways away but i have a few questions since i have never been there.
I dont have tickets so i was wondering what the scalper situation is like there in comparison to wrigley field? Should i go there without tickets or bite the bullet and pay top dollar on ebay or to some ticket broker online?
I am staying within walking distance of the ballpark at the W S Hotel & Spa. I got the room for about $100 a night. Is there somewhere else close to the ballpark, reasonable in price and recommended?
What else is worth seeing or doing in STL?
The games are sept. 14, 15 and 16. who else is going? Maybe there should be a BCB party saturday night?
To round out my trip i am going to chicago for the 17th and 18th games vs. cincinnati. i managed to get dugout box seats for those by the visitors dugout.
Anyways, i hope someone here has some good tips about st. louis and what to expect. thanks for any help. rh

St. Louis
As for the scalping question, all I can say is that they exist. I don't know how costly it would be to buy from them, but you won't have a hard time finding a seller.
I don't know what you're into, but the zoo here is pretty cool for a family activity. I'd recommend the Central West End area if you're looking for a bar scene.
I live in St. Louis and would be happy to answer any specific questions that you have.

Can't go wrong with the Hill
Despite what I say about St. Louis the city, I have to admit this is a great baseball town. In fact it is the best baseball town in the country. Cardinal fans know their stuff. There is a 65 year old secretary Cardinal fan in our office down here that can quote me the batting averages of the Cub bench for crying out loud.
And though I am a happily married middle aged man, I must say there are lots of very good young women who hang out at the ballpark.
