If you’re searching for the St. Louis Blues arena, that’s Enterprise Center — a multipurpose arena in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, that has been the Blues’ NHL home since it opened on October 8, 1994. Designed by Ellerbe Becket and built for about $135 million, the building sits at 1401 Clark Avenue in the city’s downtown sports and entertainment district, a few blocks from Busch Stadium.
The arena has carried several corporate names over the years — Kiel Center, Savvis Center, and Scottrade Center — before becoming Enterprise Center in 2018. Below is everything you need to know about the building: where it is, how big it is, how to get tickets and parking, and the history that makes it one of the NHL’s more storied modern arenas.
Quick Answer
The St. Louis Blues play their home games at Enterprise Center, a downtown St. Louis arena at 1401 Clark Avenue that opened in 1994. It seats about 18,096 for hockey and has been the Blues’ only home arena since the franchise moved out of the old St. Louis Arena that year.
Where Enterprise Center Is Located
Enterprise Center sits in downtown St. Louis at 1401 Clark Avenue, within easy walking distance of Busch Stadium and the rest of the city’s core sports and entertainment district. The Metrolink light-rail system has a stop within a few blocks, and the arena is served by thousands of nearby parking spaces, making it one of the more walkable NHL venues on a game night.
Because it anchors downtown rather than sitting in a suburban lot, fans can easily pair a Blues game with dinner, a hotel stay, or a Cardinals game at Busch Stadium during overlapping seasons.
History and Name Changes
The building opened as Kiel Center on October 8, 1994, replacing the aging St. Louis Arena (the “Old Barn”) as the Blues’ home. It was renamed Savvis Center in 2000, then Scottrade Center in 2006. Enterprise Holdings acquired the naming rights in a long-term deal that took effect on July 1, 2018, and the arena has been known as Enterprise Center ever since.
Ownership of the facility rests with the City of St. Louis, while the Blues and Enterprise Holdings have partnered on renovations over the years to keep the building competitive with newer NHL arenas despite its 1990s bones.
Seating Capacity and Layout
Enterprise Center seats roughly 18,096 fans for Blues hockey games, with a bowl designed specifically for hockey sightlines rather than retrofitted from basketball dimensions. For concerts and other events, the seating configuration expands to accommodate up to about 22,000 people, giving the arena flexibility beyond its primary tenant.
Premium options include suites and theater boxes ringing the lower bowl, and the arena’s compact footprint has made it one of the louder buildings in the league, especially during deep playoff runs.
A Downtown Hockey Fortress
Enterprise Center anchors St. Louis’s downtown sports district alongside Busch Stadium, giving hockey fans a compact, walkable game-day experience. The arena became one of the loudest buildings in the NHL during the Blues’ historic 2019 playoff run, hosting the team’s home games in that year’s Stanley Cup Final before the Blues ultimately clinched their first championship on the road with a Game 7 win over the Boston Bruins at TD Garden.
The venue’s ownership by the City of St. Louis, paired with Enterprise Holdings’ long-term naming rights deal, has helped keep the building financially stable through multiple renovations, ensuring it remains competitive with newer NHL arenas despite its 1990s origins.
Planning Your Visit: Tickets and Parking
Blues tickets are sold through the team and Ticketmaster, with pricing tiers that scale by opponent, day of week, and seating level — lower-bowl and club seats command the highest prices, while upper-level seats offer the most affordable way into a game. Concert and other event tickets at the arena follow the same tiered model set by each promoter.
Parking is plentiful downtown: thousands of spaces are available within a few blocks of the arena, including garages attached to or adjacent to the building itself, plus ample surface and street parking. Metrolink light rail is also an option for fans who’d rather skip parking altogether. For current event schedules, ticket links, parking maps, and arena policies (including bag restrictions), check the official Enterprise Center website before you go, since specifics can change by event.
More Than Just Hockey
In addition to the Blues, Enterprise Center has hosted NCAA basketball and hockey tournaments, major touring concerts, and professional wrestling events, reflecting its role as St. Louis’s primary indoor arena for large-scale entertainment. Saint Louis University’s Billikens basketball program has also used the arena for special high-profile games even after moving its regular home to Chaifetz Arena in 2008.
The building’s flexible seating configuration allows it to host everything from intimate club shows in adjacent spaces to arena-scale tours, making it a year-round fixture of the city’s event calendar rather than just a hockey-season venue.
