The Hyatt Regency in downtown St. Louis is hosting the 2012 Cardinals Winter Warm-Up January 19th, 20th and 21st. For 3 days, downtown St. Louis is going to be packed with crowds of red and besides potentially freezing weather and snow on the ground, it will feel like it’s Cardinals season.

The schedule is:

Saturday, January 19 – 9am-5pm

Sunday, January 20 – 9am-5pm

Monday, January 21 – 9am-3pm

For these 3 days, Cardinals fans will have the luxury of participating in events that won’t happen any other time of the year.

First, guided tours of Busch Stadium between 10am-2pm. Yes, you can get a guided tour other times, but what you can’t get is an included tour of the Cardinals Clubhouse. Winter Warm-Up is the only time of the year that the Clubhouse is available for tours. A portion of the proceeds benefit Cardinals Care. Buy tickets in advance.

Second, the opportunity to meet and get a free signed autograph from a variety of former St. Louis Cardinals players. That’s cool, but what’s cooler is the chance to meet and get a signed autograph from a current Cardinals player. Check out the list of former Cardinals players that are participating this year plus the dates and times for autographed tickets for former and current players and other great Cardinals figures here. Oh, and hurry up because they’re selling out.

Third, live and silent auctions to win amazing Cardinals items, from an Ibanez guitar autographed by the entire 2012 Cardinals team to a Carpenter World Series Team Issued Jersey, tons of other autographed jerseys, hats, baseballs and other baseball related items. It’s crazy!

Cost:

The price for individual passes, which are good for all 3 days are: $40 for fans age 16 and over, $10 for children age 5 to 15. Kids under 5 are free. Members of the military, police and fire departments with an active ID will receive one free adult pass which must be obtained in person at the Busch Stadium administrative office. Check out the Cardinals website to buy passes.

You can also get a VIP Winter Warm-Up package from The Hyatt which includes 2 Winter Warm-Up passes, priority line access passes, and a voucher for 2 tickets to a 2013 Cardinals home game. The package rate is $169 for the first night and each additional night is $89. Check out the Hyatt website to purchase VIP passes.

Go Cards!
