Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Chaifetz Arena

1 S. Compton Ave

St. Louis, MO 63103

Set in Midtown St. Louis on the Saint Louis University campus, the arena sits about 2 miles west of downtown — close enough for quick access yet far enough to avoid the heaviest downtown traffic.

• Parking: Multiple on-site and nearby lots/garages are available, typically $10–$20. Advance purchase and cashless payment are recommended. Limited street parking may be available.
• Public Transit: Accessible via MetroLink (Grand Station, about a 10-minute walk) and MetroBus lines serving the area.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are located near the main entrance on Compton Ave.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event. This window gives you time to park, pass through security screening, scan your tickets, and find your seats without missing the opener or tip-off. With cashless parking recommended and a clear bag policy in effect, arriving early keeps your entry quick and stress-free.

Weather won’t be a factor — Chaifetz Arena is fully indoors — but you may have a short outdoor walk from lots or the MetroLink Grand Station, about 10 minutes away. If you’re coming by rideshare, use the designated zones on Compton Ave for the smoothest dropoff and pickup.

If you’re parking on-site or nearby, note there’s moderate walking from garages to the entrances. Have your mobile tickets ready and zoom in on the Chaifetz Arena seating chart in your Ticket Purchase account to confirm the closest entry for your section. Wi-Fi is available inside, but it’s smart to download your tickets in advance in case of network congestion at peak times.

Venue Navigation

Inside, you’ll find a clear and compact layout anchored by an intimate seating bowl that keeps the energy focused on the court or stage. Concourse signage is easy to follow, and elevators and accessible entrances are available if you need them. If you’re exploring before the show, look for interactive displays highlighting Saint Louis University athletics.

Concessions are spread throughout the concourses, and you’ll find merchandise stands for Billikens gear and event apparel at multiple locations. ATMs and charging stations on the main concourse add convenience if you need cash or a quick power-up. Expect moderate walking from parking and around the concourses — comfortable footwear is a good call.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bag policy in effect; bags must be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and not exceed 12" x 6" x 12". Small clutch bags (4.5" x 6.5") are permitted.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and beverages, large bags, professional cameras, selfie sticks, drones, and laser pointers.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry allowed once you leave the arena.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Use MetroLink’s Grand Station for a convenient 10-minute walk to the arena.
• Follow the clear bag policy to speed up entry.

Pre-Event Planning

If your schedule allows, arrive early to enjoy the arena’s striking glass facade and views of the Saint Louis University campus — especially nice around sunset. It’s a great spot for photos before you head inside for the game, concert, or family show.

Dining before the event is easy thanks to the strong food scene around Midtown, The Grove, and the Central West End. Consider a pre-show meal nearby, then make the short trip to the arena, where you can head right to your section with the help of the Chaifetz Arena seating chart.

Attending with a group? Pick a meetup point on the main concourse or near a designated entrance so everyone can regroup after security. With an intimate seating bowl and clearly numbered sections, it’s simple to navigate — but it’s even smoother when you coordinate ahead of time.

Chaifetz Arena is ADA-accessible, with accessible parking available in official lots and garages near the venue. There are accessible entrances and elevators, and accessible seating is located throughout the arena at all price levels, with companion seating provided.

Assistive listening devices are available upon request at Guest Services.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find multiple concession stands serving pizza, burgers, hot dogs, nachos, and more — perfect for a quick bite before tip-off or intermission. You’ll also discover local St. Louis flavors at select stands, including regional snacks and local beers.

Concessions are spread across the concourses for easy access from most sections. Lines tend to be shortest early in the event, so plan a stop before the show starts or right after the first rush.
