The Enterprise Center, home of the NHL’s St. Louis Blues, opened in October of 1994 after a little less than two years of construction at the cost of $135 million. Enterprise Holdings purchased the naming rights in 2018, changing the name from the Kiel Center. The Blues are the only professional team that uses the arena for their home games, however, many regional and national college sports have held events there over the years, including college hockey’s “Frozen Four.”
In 1967 the NHL doubled in size from six teams to 12, and St. Louis was one of the cities awarded a franchise as part of that expansion. The Blues play in the Central Division of the NHL’s Western Conference and are rivals with the Chicago Blackhawks, who play in the same division. The Blues have been successful from the start, appearing in the playoffs more than any team outside of the NHL’s original six. In 2019, the Blues won their first Stanley Cup beating the Boston Bruins in an exciting seven-game series.
The Blues have maintained an old-school tradition for their games in the form of live organ music, which was once played at most arenas. Blues fans also like to insert, “Home of the Blues,” when the National Anthem is played before games.
