Tickets

St. Louis Battlehawks tickets

Parking

Neither the team nor the Dome runs parking. More than 30,000 garage and lot spaces are within about a 10-minute walk downtown.
Convention Plaza in front of the Dome closes to traffic from 4 hours before kickoff until 1 hour after the game.

Transit

MetroLink Red and Blue lines to Convention Center station, about 800 ft from the Dome.
MetroBus routes #32 and #40 serve the area.

Tailgating

Local fan tip: Grace Baptist Church (the former St. Patrick's Church), 1000 N 7th St, sits just north of the Dome, across from its Cole St and 6th St loading-dock side. The church has sold game-day tailgate parking since the Battlehawks began, and it's a popular tailgate spot. Fans report a usable restroom at the church. Check current prices and availability on game day.
Fans commonly tailgate in the surface lots north of the Dome (fan-reported, unverified: lot rules vary by operator).
Local fan tip: In 2025 the Broadway Battlehawks tailgate lot ran east of Broadway between Biddle and Cass, with $20/$30/$40 options, a shuttle, security and indoor bathrooms at nearby bars. Prices may change.

The UFL has said the Dome dates offered for 2027 would give St. Louis four straight home games and five straight road games, and it is exploring alternatives (Spectrum News, Oct 21, 2026). The 2027 home venue and dates are not final. Source
