Why had they not been in the Stadium since 1995?
Was it because Anheuser-Busch sold the teram or because of the new turf?

I always thought it was because they no longer owned the team and stadium.RIP Chris Jones 1971-2009
You'll never be forgotten.
Next question, did Anheuser Busch buy the naming rights to the new stadium or did the Cards just carry the name in tradition?Official Lounge Sponsor of:

It was a few things, but the turf was the main issue...

I tell you what it wasn't: some grudge between ownerships...

I don't think they wanted them taking a dump on the field like they did for the home opener in '95.Comment

Two things:
1) A-B still owned the team in 1995
2) Grass wasn't put in Busch till early 1996

Yes it was still turf in 95. I remember some guy came out in a cart with a sweeper thing on it and basically ground the shit into the turf. That was symbolic of how the season turned out.Comment

I can just hear Shannon, "Here's a liner to right, diving catch by Jordan....UGGGHH! Man-o-Man, Jordan landed right in the spot where the Budweiser Clydesdales made a little mess before the game, heh, heh, heh. Brian's gonna have to change his shirt between innings.Comment
