Baseball is back! Cardinals Opening Day is an unofficial holiday in St. Louis and filled with beloved traditions like the Budweiser Clydesdales and Hall of Famers parading around Busch Stadium. We’ve been to quite a few, but our favorite was 2006: the first game at the new stadium and our first Opening Day together. Surprises like Adam Wainwright singing the anthem in 2023 always make for a magical start to the season.
Budweiser Clydesdales
One of the longest running Cardinals traditions is the Clydesdales parading around Busch with the iconic beer wagon on Opening Day. They also play a video of this with the “Here Comes the King,” on the organ during the 8th inning.
Hall of Famers
It’s always a joy to cheer on the parade of Hall of Famers and players on Opening Day.
Surprises
The Cardinals always have a few surprises – in 2023 they surprised fans with Adam Wainwright singing the National Anthem.
