Cardinals' strong first impression shows how to grow a team. Can they regrow the crowds?

Expectations for how the Cardinals will fare are at a generational low heading into this season. But the grumbling likely will be put aside Thursday, at least for a while, at Busch Stadium. That’s where the energy level is expected to be high for the unofficial St. Louis holiday known as the home opener. In this case, it’s also the season opener, as the Cardinals are set to face the Minnesota Twins at 3:15 p.m., and the team’s broadcast rightsholders plan extensive coverage throughout the day.
