The Otters game was quite fun. $3 for a beer was great!

Allow me for a second to defend Busch stadium. $9 is the cost for a 24 oz beer so you are really paying $4.50 a beer. Not cheap, but not quite the outragous price it sounds like. This is not a post meant to rag on you but I have been through this arguement with my friends many times. They refuse to drink at Cardinal games (or try to smuggle a flask in) but on other nights they want to hang out at a Martini bar that charges $10 for a well drink of Vodka which I am 99% certain is draining from a $8 jug of Popov. You could have gotten a 12 oz beer for around $5 if you find the right stand. (The vendors sell 16 oz beers) Having been to several stadiums this isn't much more or less than anywhere else.
