Enterprise Center in one paragraph
Enterprise Center is the indoor arena at 1401 Clark Avenue in downtown St. Louis, home of the St. Louis Blues of the NHL and the city's main room for arena concerts, college basketball and touring shows. It seats 18,096 for hockey and roughly 22,000 for concerts. The best all-around hockey seats are on the Plaza Level sides (sections 101–105 and 114–118) in row M or higher; the best value is the Mezzanine sides (301–305 and 318–322) or a Plaza corner.
The building has carried four names. It opened in October 1994 as the Kiel Center, became the Savvis Center in 2000 and the Scottrade Center in 2006, and took the Enterprise name on July 1, 2018, under a 15-year agreement with the St. Louis rental-car company. Older ticket stubs, maps and locals may use any of those names. The city owns the arena, and a company tied to the Blues' ownership group operates it.
How the Plaza and Mezzanine sections are numbered
The arena's own seating guide divides the bowl into two seating levels. There is no 200 level of public seats; the suites sit between the two rings, so the upper seats jump straight to the 300s.
Plaza Level: sections 101–126
The lower bowl wraps the floor. The arena lists sections 101–105 and 114–118 as the sides and 106–113 and 119–126 as the ends. Rows run A through W, then double letters: AA–HH in the side sections and AA–KK in the ends. The letters I, O, X, Y, Z and II are skipped, so row W is not as far back as the alphabet suggests. You enter Plaza sections at row R.
Mezzanine Level: sections 301–334
The upper ring has 34 sections. Sides are 301–305 and 318–322; ends are 306–317 and 323–334. Every Mezzanine section runs rows A through R, and you enter at row C, which means rows A and B sit below the walkway with nothing in front of you but the rail.
Seat numbers and premium seats
Seat 1 sits next to the lower-numbered neighboring section; seat 1 in section 102 is nearest section 101. For Blues games, the Scott Credit Union Rinkside Club covers rows A and B of every Plaza section plus extra front rows near the shoot-twice end (rows C–F in 108–111), with food and drink included. Theater boxes, added during the 2017–2019 renovation, occupy the lower tier at both ends.
Best seats for a Blues game, and which to skip
Center ice on the Plaza sides is the premium view. RateYourSeats places the player benches in front of sections 102–104 and the penalty boxes near 116, so sections 114–118 look straight across at the benches and see the full rink without a coach's head in the way.
Choose the right row
Row M or higher is the safer pick in the lower bowl. Below it, the boards and the curve of the glass cut off the far end of the rink, and players standing at the benches block parts of the near ice. Row A is glass seating: thrilling for hits along the boards and the warmups, poor for following a play at the other end.
The shoot-twice end
According to RateYourSeats, the Blues attack the net in front of sections 109 and 110 in the first and third periods. Fans who want to watch the home team score sit in the end sections 105–114, and the Plaza corners 107 and 112 are the usual value pick there. Protective netting hangs in front of the end sections (106–113 and 119–126) during Blues games; it is thin and most people stop noticing it after a period, but it is there.
Mezzanine choices
The side Mezzanine sections (301–305, 318–322) give the full-rink, tactical view at a fraction of a Plaza price. Rows A–B are the best in the ring because they sit below the entry walkway. The deep end sections near 312 and 328 are the farthest seats in the building from center ice and the ones to skip if you can.
Concert and basketball setups
End-stage concerts
The arena says the stage usually goes at the east end of the floor, in front of sections 120–125, so the show faces sections 106–113. That makes the far Plaza end the straight-on view and the Plaza sides the closest raised seats. Floor sections are lettered (A, B, C and so on) and use padded folding chairs on a flat surface, so anyone shorter than the people in front loses the stage from the middle of the floor onward. A raised side section near the stage, such as 116–118 or 101–104 toward the stage end, often sees more than floor row 25.
Skip the Plaza and Mezzanine sections right beside or behind the stage (around 119–126 and the 323–334 end) unless the event is sold as a center-stage or in-the-round show. Those seats see the side of the set and lose the video screens.
General admission and center stage
Some shows sell the floor as standing general admission, sometimes with first-come wristbands. Wrestling, boxing and the occasional concert use a center ring or stage, which turns every side section into a good seat and makes the Plaza ends far better than usual.
Basketball
For college basketball, including the Missouri Valley Conference tournament each March and the Illinois–Missouri game in December, floor seats extend past the dasher boards. Sideline sections give the best view; the end sections behind the baskets are cheaper and fine for the atmosphere but awkward for following the far end.
Getting there: MetroLink, parking and drop-off
MetroLink is the low-stress option. Ride to Civic Center station, just off 14th and Spruce, a short walk from the arena; the Civic Center MetroBus transfer center is a block away. Many MetroLink stations have free Park-Ride lots, which lets suburban fans skip downtown parking entirely. Check Metro Transit for fares and late-night schedules.
Parking
The arena counts about 6,500 spaces within 1,800 feet, including the 1,270-car Kiel Center Garage attached to the building at 1515 Clark Avenue. SpotHero is the arena's parking partner for reserving ahead, and rates change by event. Dozens of garages and surface lots sit within a few blocks, from the Stadium East and West garages near Busch Stadium to lots around Union Station. Some nearby bars run shuttles on game nights. Garages close to the building are the slowest to empty; a lot four or five blocks out often gets you home sooner.
Rideshare
14th Street between Market and Clark closes when doors open, so set your drop-off and pickup on Market Street or Clark Avenue.
Entry, bag size and arena policies
As of the 2026 A–Z guide, Enterprise Center does not require clear bags, but it limits bag size. Bags larger than 16 by 16 inches are not allowed, and neither are backpacks of any size, hard-sided bags, coolers or luggage. There is no bag check. Small clutches up to about 6 by 4 by 1.5 inches get a quick visual check; every other bag goes through x-ray screening, which the arena warns can add 30 minutes or more to entry.
- Tickets: Blues tickets are mobile only, and screenshots or printouts are not accepted. Other events follow the promoter's method.
- Doors: 90 minutes before a regular Blues game; openers and playoff games differ.
- Re-entry: none, apart from a scan-out smoking area near Portal 8.
- Payment: concessions and retail are cash-free, with reverse ATMs at Portals 2 and 13.
- Strollers: allowed; fold-flat strollers go under the seat and larger ones are checked near Portal 19.
Rules change from season to season, so check the arena's A–Z guide before you go.
Accessible seating
Wheelchair and companion seating sits at the entry rows: row R on the Plaza Level and row C in the Mezzanine. The arena's Seat Locator and its disabled seating information line handle specific requests.
From Kiel Center to Enterprise Center
Ground was broken in December 1992 on the site of the Kiel Auditorium, and the arena, designed by Ellerbe Becket, opened on October 8, 1994, at a cost of about 135 million dollars. The Blues moved in for the 1995 season after leaving the old St. Louis Arena. The neighboring Kiel Opera House survived the demolition, reopened in 2011 as the Peabody Opera House and is now the Stifel Theatre. The Kiel name still appears on the attached garage and on the building's cornerstone.
A three-phase renovation from 2017 to 2019 brought a new scoreboard, new seats in both bowls, theater boxes at each end, rebuilt lower-concourse clubs and a beer garden facing 14th Street. Hockey capacity dropped from 19,150 to 18,096 along the way.
The building's biggest nights came in June 2019, when it hosted games 3, 4 and 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against Boston on the way to the Blues' first championship. It also staged the 2020 NHL All-Star Game, the Frozen Four in 2007 and 2025, two Women's Final Fours and the 2026 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, and it has held the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, known as Arch Madness, since 1995.
