St. Louis Blues

Enterprise Center

St. Louis, Missouri

A Blues night at Enterprise Center, downtown St. Louis.

Plan my tripJust find a hotel

The local take

A downtown arena on Clark Avenue with a MetroLink station a block away, Ballpark Village and Busch Stadium down the same avenue, the Gateway Arch by the river and Soulard’s bars a short ride south.

Most Blues home games start at 7 p.m. Central, many of them on weeknights. Most Saturday games start at 6 p.m., and a few weekend and holiday games start in the afternoon. Doors open 90 minutes before puck drop for Blues games. For a weekend trip, the City Museum and the Gateway Arch fill the day before.
