Special Note for Baseball Season

Cardinals Home Opener Sports hospitality that feels like VIP

Opening Day in St. Louis is a hospitality moment—clients in town, packed restaurants, private suites, and watch parties that need a signature detail. A custom ice sculpture or interactive ice feature turns “good” into “unforgettable.”

  • Team-themed custom ice sculpture: Baseball iconography, a bat-and-ball sculpture, or a premium monogram piece for sponsors and suites.
  • Ice luge rental for pregame energy: Quick, interactive, and perfect for branded hospitality (think sponsor logos or a “first pitch” moment).
  • Engraved/branded ice cubes: Add logos to Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, or spirit-forward cocktails for an upscale, camera-ready detail.
