Enterprise Center Parking Lots and Maps
Enterprise Center does not operate its own surface parking lots, but roughly 6,500 parking spaces sit within 1,800 feet of the building, including the 1,270-space Kiel Center Garage directly attached to the arena.
The Kiel Center Garage is the most convenient option — it connects to the arena on Level 4 via Gate 4 and is operated by the City of St. Louis. Most spaces are reserved for St. Louis Blues season ticket holders on game nights, but general public spots open up for other events. The Cardinal Lot is another popular choice bookable through ParkMobile. Stadium West Garage is roughly a 10-minute walk from the gates and frequently prices below $20 when reserved online. St. Louis Union Station lots sit about a 10-minute walk from the arena and typically run around $20 on event nights.
Look for “Enterprise Center Parking” signs posted at the entrances to participating facilities throughout the surrounding blocks — the venue directs guests to approved facilities with this signage. For fans approaching from I-64 westbound, parking facilities along Clark Avenue east of the arena are accessible by turning left on Clark. From I-64 eastbound, exit at Chestnut/20th Street and follow Chestnut to lots on the left, or turn right on 18th Street to reach additional facilities.

Preferred/Premium Parking at Enterprise Center
The closest premium parking to Enterprise Center is the Kiel Center Garage, situated immediately west of the building and offering direct indoor access to Gate 4 on Level 4.
Gate 4 on the fourth level of the attached garage is exclusive to suite holders, premier club seat holders, and St. Louis Blues season ticket holders with Jameson Club access. This entrance opens two hours before each event — earlier than the general public gates — making it the most seamless arrival experience available. Expect to pay $20 to $25 for a space in the Kiel Center Garage, with season ticket holders reserving most spots in advance.
The lot at 1401 Locust Street also puts you close to the gates, though it typically runs about $10 more than mid-tier options. For fans who want the shortest possible walk on a cold St. Louis winter night during Blues season, prepaying for the Kiel Center Garage or Locust Street lot through SpotHero is the best route. Spaces in these premium locations sell out fast on rivalry nights and playoff games, so booking at least a few days ahead is strongly recommended.
Free Parking Near Enterprise Center
Truly free parking near Enterprise Center is limited on event nights, but a few options exist for fans who plan ahead and are willing to walk.
Metered street parking surrounds the arena on many downtown blocks. Meters are typically enforced Monday through Friday until 7:00 PM, then free afterward and all day on weekends. Since most Blues games start at 7:00 PM on weekdays and 6:00 or 7:00 PM on weekends, arriving a bit early may let you find a free metered spot before enforcement ends or on a Saturday or Sunday. Always read posted signs carefully — time limits and enforcement hours vary block to block.
Some MetroLink Park-Ride lots along the Red and Blue Lines offer free vehicle parking. Fans can drive to a suburban station, park at no charge, and ride the train downtown for a small fare. This is effectively the most affordable way to attend a game if you live or are staying near a MetroLink station with a free lot. The 360 S. 18th St. lot is one of the cheapest non-metered options near the arena, with non-event rates starting around $3, though prices rise on game nights. Budget-friendly fans should target lots a 10- to 15-minute walk out and compare rates on SpotHero or ParkMobile before heading out.
Can You Tailgate at Enterprise Center?
Tailgating is permitted in select surface lots surrounding Enterprise Center, though it is not available in the attached Kiel Center Garage.
Fans can tailgate in certain designated surface lots that ring the arena on game days. Rules and allowances vary by individual lot operator, so confirm tailgating policies when booking through SpotHero or ParkMobile — lot detail pages note whether tailgating is permitted. Charcoal grills are generally prohibited in downtown lots due to city ordinances; gas grills and open-air setups are more commonly allowed where tailgating is permitted.
If your lot does not permit tailgating, the downtown St. Louis bar scene is a popular alternative. The Blues’ official website at stlouisblues.com/bars lists local bars that offer free shuttles to games — check the Free Shuttle section under current specials. Ballpark Village and the many bars along Clark Avenue and Market Street are go-to pre-game gathering spots just steps from the arena.
ADA and Handicap Parking at Enterprise Center
ADA-accessible parking is available throughout the garages and surface lots surrounding Enterprise Center, with the Kiel Center Garage offering the most convenient accessible spaces.
The Kiel Center Garage has 24 designated ADA parking spaces spread across all levels, each positioned next to elevators for direct, step-free access to the arena. Oversized van-accessible spaces are located on the first level of the Kiel Center Garage. A valid disabled parking permit or placard is required to use these spaces. All ADA spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so early arrival is strongly recommended — especially for high-attendance games.
A dedicated drop-off location for guests with disabilities is on Clark Avenue at the south end of the building. Shuttles and buses drop off passengers on 14th Street at the east end of the arena. All three street-level entrances to Enterprise Center — Gate 1 (Post Entrance, west end), Gate 2 (First Community Entrance, south end), and Gate 3 (Ford Entrance, east end) — are ADA accessible. Parking facilities, restrooms, concession areas, and drinking fountains throughout the venue comply with ADA standards. For accessibility questions, contact the Enterprise Center Accessibility Hotline at 314-622-5420.
Uber and Lyft Drop-Off at Enterprise Center
The designated rideshare drop-off and pickup zone for Enterprise Center is located near Clark Avenue and 14th Street, at the south/east end of the building.
For drop-off, direct your driver to Clark Avenue and 14th Street — this puts you steps from Gate 2 (the main entrance) and Gate 3. After the game, rideshare demand spikes sharply as thousands of fans exit at the same time, which drives up surge pricing and wait times. To beat the rush, consider walking two or three blocks away from the arena before requesting your ride, or stop at one of the bars or restaurants along Clark Avenue or Market Street while the crowd clears.
If you are using a taxi, the same Clark Avenue and 14th Street zone applies for drop-off. Enterprise Center’s central downtown location means traffic on 14th Street and Clark Avenue can back up significantly after a game, so building in 20 to 30 extra minutes for post-game pickup is a smart move on sold-out nights.
Public Transit to Enterprise Center
MetroLink is the fastest and most cost-effective way to reach Enterprise Center, with the Civic Center Station located directly across the street from the arena.
Both the Red Line and Blue Line stop at Civic Center Station, just off 14th Street and Spruce Street. From the station, walk north along 14th Street for about two minutes and Enterprise Center will be directly ahead. You can enter at Gate 2 on Clark Street or continue on 14th Street to Gate 3. The cash MetroLink fare is $2.50 each way. MetroLink covers 48 miles across Missouri and Illinois with 38 stations, and many suburban stations have free Park-Ride lots where you can leave your vehicle and ride in — making this effectively a free parking option for fans near the line.
MetroBus is the second option. Sixteen MetroBus routes serve the Civic Center MetroBus Transfer Center, which is just one block from the arena. The cash bus fare is $1.00. For route planning, use the Metro Trip Planner at metrostlouis.org or call Bi-State transit information at 314-231-2345 in Missouri or 618-271-2345 in Illinois. Enterprise Center also lies along several city bus routes — the official venue directions page notes that transit access is available from multiple directions.
Enterprise Center Parking Tips
The single best move for Blues game parking is to book through SpotHero — the official parking partner of Enterprise Center — at least a few days in advance to lock in a lower rate and guarantee your spot.
Arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before puck drop. Parking fills up fast within a few blocks of the arena, and traffic on 14th Street and Clark Avenue gets heavy in the final 30 minutes before the game. If you are using the Kiel Center Garage for premium access via Gate 4, note that this entrance opens two hours before the game for suite and club seat holders. General public gates open one hour before most events.
For the best balance of price and walkability, the Stadium West Garage is a strong choice — the walk to the gates is about 10 minutes and rates frequently come in under $20 when reserved online. If you want to spend even less, target lots near S. 18th Street, which sit farther out but offer some of the lowest prepaid rates in the area. MetroLink is the smartest play for fans staying in hotels along the Red or Blue Line — skip the parking cost entirely and ride directly to Civic Center Station. After the game, head to a bar on Clark Avenue for 20 minutes rather than fighting the post-game traffic wave on foot or by rideshare.
