The Busch name will grace the Cardinals' new stadium, just as it has at two other St. Louis ballparks over the last 50 years.

Out of all the options, this one is better than some, but I would have liked a good name, tying into the Cardinals, but that was a bit different. Still, it could have been a lot worse.

Woo-hoo. I was kinda hoping we'd name it Spearmint Field to counter Wrigley field.
