Enterprise Center Pregame Guide
St. Louis Blues · St. Louis, MO
Enterprise Center is at 1401 Clark Avenue in downtown St. Louis, with around 6,500 parking spaces within 1,800 feet — including a 1,270-car garage immediately adjacent to the building, reached by turning left at Clark Avenue then left on 16th Street. Most entrances open 90 minutes before a Blues game. The arena publishes no tailgating policy. One quietly useful detail: sensory bags with KCVIP badges, fidget tools and noise-cancelling headphones are available free at the Guest Experience Center across from Portal 19, on leaving an ID.
