In a major move that signals long-term commitment to both fans and the city, the St. Louis Blues have officially accepted an $80.5 million stadium renewal project for the Enterprise Center, scheduled for completion ahead of the 2025–2026 NHL season. The project, titled “Works Done,” reflects a new era for the franchise — combining sports excellence with modern design, technology, and sustainability.
A Vision for the Future
The stadium renewal will introduce cutting-edge amenities, improved infrastructure, and fan-focused upgrades aimed at enhancing every visit to the Enterprise Center. The multi-phase project was greenlit after thorough collaboration between team executives, local government, and private investors.
“This isn’t just a facelift — it’s a transformational investment,” said Blues owner Tom Stillman. “We’re building an arena experience that matches the heart and energy of our fans.”
Key Features of the $80.5 Million Renovation
Modernized Seating and Suite Upgrades: All-new luxury suites, improved sightlines, and increased ADA-accessible seating throughout the arena.
Technology Overhaul: Installation of a next-generation scoreboard, 360-degree LED ribbon boards, and advanced sound and lighting systems.
Sustainability Initiatives: Environmentally friendly energy systems, water-saving fixtures, and improved recycling infrastructure to make the stadium greener.
Fan Experience Enhancements: Expanded concourse areas, interactive fan zones, upgraded concession offerings, and digital ticketing integration.
Team-Focused Improvements: Renovated locker rooms, recovery areas, and training facilities for players and coaching staff.
Economic and Community Impact
Local officials estimate the renovation will bring a strong economic boost to downtown St. Louis, both during construction and through increased foot traffic once completed. Hotels, restaurants, and small businesses around the Enterprise Center are expected to benefit significantly.
“This project is a win for sports, a win for jobs, and a win for St. Louis,” said Mayor Tishaura Jones. “It shows what happens when public-private partnerships come together with a shared vision for growth.”
Construction Timeline and Planning
Renovations will begin in early fall 2025, with the work strategically phased to ensure that the Blues can continue playing home games with minimal interruption. Full project completion is expected by mid-2026.
The Enterprise Center, which opened in 1994 and underwent a major upgrade in 2019, is once again poised to be one of the premier arenas in the National Hockey League.
Looking Ahead
As the Blues continue to build on their proud legacy — including the historic 2019 Stanley Cup win — the stadium renewal symbolizes a promise to fans: to deliver not only competitive hockey, but an unforgettable game-day experience for decades to come.
