ST. LOUIS, Mo., November 12, 2024 – The St. Louis Cardinals and Cardinals Care, the team’s charitable foundation, announced today that the 28th Winter Warm-Up will be held at Busch Stadium and Ballpark Village January 18-20, 2025

“We’re thrilled to kick off the 2025 baseball season with the Winter Warm-Up at Busch Stadium and Ballpark Village,” said Michael Hall, Vice President of Community Relations & Executive Director of Cardinals Care.  “Our long-standing fan festival provides fans the opportunity to interact with their favorite Cardinals players, alumni and broadcasters in a family-friendly atmosphere all while raising funds to support our mission of caring for kids in the community.”

New for 2025, fans who purchase an adult three-day weekend ticket November 29th through December 8th (or while supplies last) will receive a free “mystery” autograph ticket!  The “mystery” autograph ticket will be for a player from the 40-man roster or MLB coaching staff. All mystery autograph tickets will be issued to the purchaser’s Ballpark app before autograph tickets go on sale. 

Additionally, access to the Main Stage at Ballpark Village will be open to the public.  No ticket will be required to access Ballpark Village during the Winter Warm-Up weekend, so fans will be able to enjoy Q&A sessions, presentations and entertainment from the Main Stage at Ballpark Village all free of charge.

Fans who purchase Winter Warm-Up tickets will enjoy access to family-friendly activities including a tour of the Cardinals Clubhouse and admission to the world-class Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum, plus reserved seating at the Main Stage in Ballpark Village, auctions, special presentations, the Cardinals Care Store, autograph stations, and an exhibit hall featuring a wide variety of sports memorabilia treasures and more.

Three-day weekend tickets and hotel packages at Live! by Loews – St. Louis, the exclusive hotel of the Winter Warm-Up, will go on sale Friday, November 29 at cardinals.com/WWU.  Autograph tickets will go on sale mid-December.

Proceeds from the event fund Cardinals Care programs including Redbird Rookies and Cardinals Nike RBI baseball/softball programs for kids, the youth ballfield program, and the grant program.  Fans can visit cardinals.com/WWU and follow @CardinalsCare on X for the latest details. 

The Cardinals also announced the return of the Cardinals Caravan, the traveling roadshow that brings current players, alumni, and broadcasters to 20 cities throughout Cardinals Nation over a four-day period, presented by Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance (January 17-20, 2025).  Additional details and player participation will be announced in early January. Fans can get a preview of the full January Caravan schedule at cardinals.com/caravan.

About Cardinals Care

Cardinals Care was established to give fans a way to team up with Cardinals players and the organization to help children in our community—both on and off the baseball field.  Established in 1997, Cardinals Care has invested over $31 million to support St. Louis area children, built or renovated 25 youth ball fields in local under-resourced neighborhoods, and distributed over $17 million in grants to nonprofit organizations. 

Since 2004, Cardinals Care has orchestrated the innovative Redbird Rookies program, a free co-ed baseball/softball league for kids who otherwise might not have the opportunity to play.  In addition to providing all the uniforms and equipment needed for each team, Redbird Rookies also provides extensive off-field support in the areas of health, education, mentoring and the cultural arts for each of the nearly 2,500 kids who participate in the program each year. 

In 2023, Cardinals Care launched the Cardinals Nike Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program in cooperation with Major League Baseball to provide greater baseball and softball opportunities for youth ages 14-18 in our community. To learn more about all of Cardinals Care’s programs visit cardinals.com/community and follow @CardinalsCare on X, Facebook and Instagram.
