It's a strange, yet beautiful sight to see. Busch Stadium in St. Louis, home of Major League Baseball's St. Louis Cardinals, has seen the baseball field transformed into a soccer pitch ahead of Friday night's CONCACAF World Cup Qualifier between US and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. With the Gateway Arch in the background, it's quite eye-catching.
Check it out.

Soccer being played in baseball stadiums is not new thing, as New York City FC's inaugural season was played at Yankee Stadium.
Sure, you can still see the infield a bit, but it still looks like a great venue to open US's 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign. Let's hope the hidden diamond (located near the box) won't cause any injuries Friday night.
The USMNT practiced at the stadium on Thursday ahead of the match, scheduled for 7 pm ET. Here's how you can watch or stream the match on TV, along with our match preview. Brad Guzan is expected to start in goal over Tim Howard. Howard will be in net for USMNT's match against Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday.
JK: “Brad Guzan will start the game tomorrow night and if everything goes according to plan, Tim Howard will start in Trinidad.” #USMNT
