Edward Jones Dome was the name carried by downtown St. Louis’s domed stadium from 2002 to 2016, during the heart of the building’s run as home to the NFL’s St. Louis Rams. Opened in 1995 as the Trans World Dome, the venue took on the Edward Jones name through a naming-rights deal with the St. Louis-based financial services firm, and it remained the Rams’ primary home until the franchise relocated to Los Angeles after the 2015 season.
Located at 701 Convention Plaza as part of the America’s Center convention complex, the dome was designed by HOK Sport and could seat 67,277 for football. Beyond Rams games, it hosted the 2005 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four and a 1999 mass celebrated by Pope John Paul II that drew more than 100,000 people. After the Rams departed, the building’s naming rights lapsed and it was rebranded The Dome at America’s Center, a name it still carries today.

Life as the Rams’ Home
For 14 of the Rams’ 21 seasons in St. Louis, the stadium operated under the Edward Jones name, a naming-rights deal with the hometown investment firm. The team’s lone Super Bowl championship came in the 1999 season, playing its home games there as the “Greatest Show on Turf” era took shape, though that particular title run predated the Edward Jones branding by a couple of years.
The dome’s enclosed, climate-controlled design made it a reliable host for football regardless of St. Louis weather, and its turf surface and seating bowl were built to accommodate both NFL games and large-scale conventions tied to the adjoining America’s Center.
Beyond Football
The venue’s versatility extended well past the Rams. It welcomed the 2005 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four, numerous major concert tours, and religious and civic gatherings, including the enormous crowd that gathered for Pope John Paul II’s 1999 visit.
When the Rams left for Los Angeles following the 2015 season, the Edward Jones naming agreement wound down and the building was renamed The Dome at America’s Center, the name it has used since 2016 while continuing to host concerts, conventions, and the St. Louis Battlehawks of professional football.
