Cardinal Cub renewal boosts box office demand in St Louis
In St Louis the Cardinal Cubs four game series drew strong telephoned demand for box seats yet most downstairs boxes will fill fast. Cardinal assistant director Marty Hendin cautioned that weekend seats may be tight but a 50,000 seat park allows ticket access. Attendance neared 18 000 Friday night and total paid home attendance reached 708 044 for 37 dates, 158 137 more than last year for the same span. Ticket manager Mike Bertani forecasts about 300 000 paid admissions for the 11 game 10 date home stretch.
