Anheuser-Busch and the Cardinals will be joined again. At a press conference in St. Louis today, the brewery will be introduced as the corporate sponsor of the team’s new stadium, which will be open for play in 2006. This marks the third time that A-B has been the name sponsor of a stadium where they Cardinals play. The brewery bought the Cardinals in 1954 and changed Sportsman’s Park to Busch Stadium and the name continued when the current stadium opened 1966. Anheuser-Busch sold the team in 1996.
