Tips for Visiting The Dome at America's Center #

Check your event ticket for the assigned entry gate and security procedures before you leave-large events at the Dome use multiple, gate-specific queues and advance info speeds entry.
Use public transit into downtown St. Louis to avoid event-peak traffic; the Convention/arena area is served by MetroLink/Civic Center stations, which drop you within a short walk of the venue.
Book parking in advance if you must drive: downtown garages and official venue lots fill early on game or convention days, and pre-booking keeps you from circling during peak arrival times.
