Since being opened at the start of the 2009 regular season, MLB betting handicappers have seen some of the most memorable moments in the history of baseball at the new Yankee Stadium. For instance, last year baseball betting fans, were able to witness the Yankees go from a team on a huge championship drought, to winning the World Series outright. Conversely, this year Yankee fans were able to witness Alex Rodriguez hit home run 600 at the beginning of August, live in front of the home audience.

New Yankee Stadium is located directly across the street from the old Yankee Stadium. Over the 85-year tenure at the old Yankee Stadium, fans and bettors alike were able to watch and gamble on 26 of the Yankees 27 World Series titles. Old Yankee Stadium was the house that Ruth, DiMaggio and Gehrig built. As a result many players after them were unable to live up to the standards those three set.

Nevertheless, in new Yankee Stadium, it is modern era stars such as Jeter, Rodriguez and Sabathia, who are setting new standards for future stars of the Yankees. After winning the World Series at home in Yankee Stadium in the inaugural year of the new stadium, many wonder how they will follow up in year two. So far this year, the Yankees are a top the American League East division and own one of the best home records in baseball. Yet many fans and critics alike now believe that anything short of a new Yankee dynasty will be seen as a flop in the new stadium.

As we noted above, the new Yankee Stadium is being defined as the house that Jeter, Rodriguez and staff ace Sabathia built. Sabathia alone has benefited significantly from the new Yankee Stadium, as he has yet to lose this season at home. What’s more, his last home loss was in the beginning of July of the 2009 season.

Baseball betting fans have come to love watching games at Busch Stadium since it was created in 2006. Similar to the Yankees in 2009, Cardinals fans betting online for the team to win a World Series in Busch Stadium’s inaugural year, were big winners as the team won and defeated the Detroit Tigers in five games that seaso

On April 10, 2006, Mark Mulder was the opening day starter for the first ever game at Busch Stadium III. That day, the Cardinals on the backs of Mulder and future hall of fame first baseman Albert Pujols, were able to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers six to four.

The current Busch Stadium is the latest ball park in St. Louis to hold the Busch name since 1953, as it has succeeded two previous Busch Stadiums, which were also used for football. Although the Cardinals played at Busch Stadium II for 39 years from 1966 to 2005, planning for the new Busch Stadium has been in the works since 1995.  However, the funding for a new stadium took some time, and the current edition of Busch, was not built until 2004.

Busch Stadium III was built through the collaboration of three different groups, Populous Architect Company, Bliss and Nyitray Inc engineers and the Hunter Construction Group as the main contractors. The total cost to build the new Busch Stadium was $365 Million.

Historical Moments at Busch Stadium III:

In 2006, as noted earlier the Cardinals made it all the way to the World Series final. The Cards won all three games at Busch Stadium, before defeating the Tigers in Detroit to win the World Series.

Similar to the Rocky statue outside the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, new Busch Stadium has a statue of Stan Musial. When the Cards won the first three games of the 2006 World Series, many fans climbed atop the statue of Stan “The man” Musial.

In 2009, Busch Stadium was the host of the All Star game but also the home of the series clinching win for the Los Angeles Dodgers, as they defeated the Cards in four games.

MLB betting fans have seen plenty of heartbreak at Wrigley Field, which is one of the oldest, most memorable and allegedly cursed stadiums in all of baseball. Cub’s fans betting online for the team to win a World Series, have become known as some of the most ambitious fans, as the team has not won a championship at Wrigley since 1907.

Wrigley Field was built in March of 1914 and has been the home of the lowly Chicago Cubs ever since. It is the oldest National League Ball Park and second to only Fenway in Boston for being the oldest sports stadium in the world. It has been known as Wrigley Field since 1926, after formerly being known as Weeghman Park from 1914 to 1920 and then Cubs Park from 1920 to 1926.

Aside from being the home field for the Chicago Cubs, Wrigley has also been the home for the NFL’s Chicago Bears and most recently the NHL Winter Classic in the 2009 – 2010 seasons.

As noted earlier Wrigley was built in March of 1914 and was open for business by April 23rd of 1914, a six week span. The cost of construction was $250,000 as it was built by the Zachary Taylor Davis group.  Aside from designing Wrigley Field, Zachary Davis had also designed old Comiskey Park the home of the Chicago White Sox in 1910. 

Initially known as Weeghman Park for Charles Weeghman the owner of the Federal League team the Whales, Wrigley has become baseball field synonymous with being cursed. Since the Cubs came to play at Wrigley in 1916, they have yet to win a World Series. However, they were the loser of four World Series, in 1923, 1936, 1938, and 1945.
