Blues Fans Get Creative When Finding
Places to View Championship Parade
As some of these photos indicate, there were several nooks and crannies in downtown to view the Blues Stanley Cup parade on Saturday. From atop the Enterprise Center to parking garages and other places, fans found spots to view their championship Blues. Most of the key street locations were taken early Saturday by people who arrived by 9 a.m. and by those who had hotel rooms downtown.
A BLUES FAN brought this banner to the rally downtown on Saturday, with more than 300,000 people at the rally.
THE CHIEF, Blues coach Craig Berube was interviewed on the Arch grounds stage at Saturday’s celebration. The Blues and the City of St. Louis had a large video screen to give fans who couldn’t see the stage a better close-up of the activities. 
CARL GUNNARSON, who shot the winning goal in overtime in Game 2, rode with his wife and daughter in the parade and was signing autographs for the fans along the parade route.
LAILA ANDERSON was interviewed many times during the playoffs as she became the ultimate super fan and best friend of Blues players. This time it was at the rally under the Arch grounds. The Blues sent Laila and her mother to Boston for the final game and she was present when the Cup was presented after the Blues’ Game 7 victory.
Every time a Blues player hoisted the Stanley Cup at the parade and rally that followed, the crowd cheered loudly. Several players took a turn with the Cup at the rally under the Arch Saturday afternoon.

Game saving goalie JORDAN BINNINGTON showed his jovial personality as he waved back to the many well-wishers on Market Street downtown. Many of the players started the parade in vehicles, but most ended up walking the streets high fiving all the fans. Crowds, estimated at a quarter million plus, came out for the St. Louis Blues first-ever Stanley Cup win.
