STL has ALWAYS been a baseball town. First and foremost. MOST (not all) are very knowledgeable when it comes to the game. The Cardinals draw over 3M fans even in bad years. They enjoy baseball period, and I've seen the crowd give an opposing player a standing ovation for a great play, pitching performance, or just reputation (Griffey Jr. after a HR moved him up the list.....as example) on numerous occasions.

Football has usually played 3rd fiddle while here, and probably still would had the Blues Hockey Team not taken a turn for the worse the past few years after the work stoppage.

Football fans here, for the most part ARE NOT knowledgeable, and it shows when you go to a game.

It was funny seeing cards fans leave just before the 9th inning started and they were down just 2 runs.
