    I would recommend the Hampton Inn at the Arch. It's only a few blocks away from the stadium (as far as I could tell). I work at a Hampton around Chicago and my company own the Hampton - Arch. It's a great hotel with great people, and SUPER clean. The company makes it a point for very clean rooms and great service. Check them out!

    I'll probably be staying there...either there or the Hilton...I get rooms super cheap either way, and I have resv at both for Sat night.

    I used Priceline today. I went for a downtown and 4 star hotel and named $65 as my price and it was accepted. The total was $82.63 for Saturday night. If the 4 star doesn't work, then I did a 3 star.

    Anyways, my hotel is The Roberts Mayfair - A Wyndham Historic Hotel on St Charles Street. The website is: http://www.wyndham.com/hotels/STLMF/main.wnt

    Any locals have insight on this hotel?? I stayed at the Millenium last year for the NCAA Regional Finals and we walked everywhere so that was cool. That was a nice place.

    I just realized that I made reservations at the Hilton a couple blocks away...NOT the Hilton at the Ballpark.

    It ends up that my wife and I will probably stay at the Hampton Inn at the Arch anyway...I called and got cheap non smoking rooms.

    Anyone else staying at the Hilton - Downtown (not Hilton - Ballpark) or the Hampton - Arch?

    I'm in between about 4 different hotels right now but I'm thinking the Millenium is the one I'll go with. For the price, it seems to be the nicest and so close to everything...I'm too poor for the Hilton

    They have rooms on expedia.com for $86ish I think...they are double bed standard rooms. I felt like I'd be a baller and get the deluxe queen room

    edit: I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've said or used the word baller in my life

    This will be a great show. What a view of the arch and the skyline as the band comes on stage. What a show this will be...

    Just some info from an usher that is working the show:
    the stage will be around second base, they are only going to have 5-700 seats on the infield, and they are not useing the outfield seating, so basically from just beyond first and third. they are expecting 30000 people total.
