Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
The Blues in brief: from three straight Finals to the 2019 Cup
The St. Louis Blues play home games at Enterprise Center, the downtown arena at 1401 Clark Avenue, from October through mid-April, with playoff games after that. The franchise joined the NHL in the 1967 expansion that doubled the league from six teams to twelve, and it plays in the Central Division of the Western Conference.
The Blues reached the Stanley Cup Final in each of their first three seasons, losing to Montreal in 1968 and 1969 and to Boston in 1970. The next trip took 49 years. In 2019 the team beat Boston in Game 7 on June 12 to win its first Stanley Cup, the last of the surviving 1967 expansion clubs to do so.
- The name: a nod to the city's music history and to W.C. Handy's song "Saint Louis Blues," which the organist still plays before games.
- The playoff streak: 25 consecutive postseason appearances from 1980 through 2004, one of the longest runs in North American pro sports.
- Retired numbers: eight, including Al MacInnis (2), Brett Hull (16), Bernie Federko (24) and Chris Pronger (44).
- The rivalry: the Chicago Blackhawks, a division opponent since 1970.
Center ice, the attack end and the glass at Enterprise Center
Enterprise Center has two main seating tiers for hockey: the 100 level (the lower bowl that wraps the rink) and the 300 level (the upper bowl above a ring of suites and club space). After a three-phase renovation from 2017 to 2019 that replaced every seat and added theater-style boxes at both ends, the arena lists hockey capacity at about 18,000; older listings, including the team's Wikipedia entry, still show figures above 19,000.
Center ice and the benches
Seating guides from TickPick and RateYourSeats place both player benches in front of sections 102 to 104, with the penalty boxes across the ice near section 116. The centered sections on each side, 102 to 104 and 115 to 117 downstairs and roughly 301 to 304 and 319 to 321 upstairs, show the whole rink. On the bench side, rows close to the ice put coaches and standing players in your line of sight; row 10 and higher clears both the glass and the bench traffic.
The end where the Blues shoot twice
Both guides put the Blues' attacking net, the one they shoot at in the first and third periods, in front of sections 108 to 111. That end sees more home scoring chances and is the better choice behind a goal. The opposite end usually costs less and suits a fan who cares more about price than proximity to Blues goals.
Glass seats and club rows
Row A in the 100 level sits against the boards. The Rinkside Club seats in the first rows include food and drink, and club seating in double-lettered rows (BB and up) runs through sections 101 to 106, 113 to 119 and 126. Glass seats are the most sought-after for the warmups and the noise, but the curved glass distorts play at the far end of the rink, so many regulars prefer the middle rows of the lower bowl.
The 300 level
The upper bowl is the budget choice, and its centered sections often give a better read on line changes and passing lanes than low corner seats downstairs. The highest corner rows are the seats to skip if you want to follow the puck without the video board.
The NHL calendar and the Blues games that sell first
Each NHL team plays 82 regular-season games, 41 at home. Preseason games come in late September, the regular season runs from early October to mid-April, and the Stanley Cup playoffs run from April into June. Weekend games and holiday-week dates between Christmas and New Year's draw family crowds and sell earlier than weeknights.
- The Blackhawks: the longest-running rivalry on the schedule, and Chicago is close enough that visiting jerseys are common in the stands.
- Central Division opponents: games against Dallas, Nashville and other division clubs carry standings weight in spring and usually draw well.
- The Bruins: a rematch of the 1970 and 2019 Finals and a regular draw when Boston visits once a season.
- Opening night and playoff games: the highest-demand dates of the year, with prices tied to series length and the opponent.
Most listings on this page are resale, so prices float with the opponent, the day of the week and the standings. Weeknight games against Eastern Conference teams that visit only once are typically the easiest tickets to find.
Blues traditions: the anthem, Gloria and Country Roads
Home games have a few rituals worth knowing before you go. Fans swap the last words of the national anthem to "the home of the Blues." Laura Branigan's "Gloria" plays after home wins, a habit that started on January 6, 2019, when players in a Philadelphia bar kept asking the DJ to replay it. Since February 2019, the crowd has sung John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" during the third period.
The mascot, Louie, is a blue polar bear introduced in 2007. Downtown restaurants and bars near the arena and the Union Station area get busy before puck drop, so book ahead on Saturday nights and rivalry dates.
Getting to Enterprise Center and getting inside
The arena sits on the west side of downtown, and MetroLink light rail stops at Civic Center station, beside the building. Light rail avoids the post-game garage exits, which can take a long time after a sellout. Parking garages and surface lots around Clark Avenue and Market Street fill quickly, and event-rate parking changes by the game.
- Arrival: check door times on your ticket; pre-game warmups are the best time to stand at the glass.
- Bags and tickets: as of the 2025–26 season, NHL arenas generally use mobile entry and limit bag size. Check the arena's current bag and entry policy before you go.
- Weather: January and February nights can be cold, so plan the walk from parking accordingly.

From the old Arena to the 2019 comeback
The Blues spent their first 27 seasons at the St. Louis Arena, briefly called the Checkerdome from 1977 to 1983, before moving to the new Kiel Center in 1994. The building became Savvis Center in 2000, Scottrade Center in 2006 and Enterprise Center on July 1, 2018.
The 1990s belonged to Brett Hull, who scored 86 goals in 1990–91 and won the Hart Trophy, and who left in 1998 as the franchise's career goals leader with 527. The 2018–19 season is the one fans retell most. The Blues started the 2019 calendar year with the worst record in the league, changed coaches in November, turned to rookie goaltender Jordan Binnington in January, and then beat Winnipeg, Dallas, San Jose and Boston to win the Cup. Enterprise Center hosted Stanley Cup Final games that spring and the NHL All-Star Game in 2020.
