HISTORY:

The Scottrade Center is on the site of the former Kiel Auditorium, built in 1932 as a municipal auditorium. Kiel Center opened in 1994 and naming rights were sold to Savvis Communications in 2000. Naming rights were sold to Scottrade, a St. Louis online brokerage, in 2006. The Scottrade Center is a contemporary, 12-story glass and concrete structure in the heart of downtown St. Louis. The Blues' history is showcased throughout the arena with banners, exhibits and other tributes, including a loud foghorn blast and the playing of "When the Saints Go Marching In" after every Blues goal. Among the events the arena has hosted are the NCAA Frozen Four hockey championship in 2007, the NCAA wrestling championships in 2008 and 2009 and the NCAA Women's Final Four basketball championship in 2009. The arena also is host to "Arch Madness", the Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball tournament.
