Sadly I don't have sharp memories of how Busch II was at the end, and I wasn't living in St. Louis anymore...but as a child I remember it having a serious, almost cathedral like ambiance with lots of long dark shadows. I remember the booming sound of the place. There's good and bad about that, and it was a once and for all converted multi-use. I think it would have been around longer had it been built just for baseball.
I like Kauffman, I think the renovation is going to be great...I just wish wish wish it had been built near downtown KC.
