America's Center / Edward Jones Dome

Convention cake

The America’s Center Convention Complex is home to four distinct meeting facilities under one roof: Cervantes Convention Center, the Edward Jones Dome, the St. Louis Executive Conference Center and the Ferrara Theatre. In addition, the convention center features five exhibit halls, a ballroom and more than 80 meeting rooms.

Not only is it home of the St. Louis Rams football team, other yearly events are have been hosted here such as the boat show, wedding  show, car show and home improvement show.


Events cake

The Edward Jones Dome is a multi-purpose stadium and home of the St. Louis Rams. Besides football there are other sports played here. The Show Me Bowl championship games for the annual Missouri State High School Activities Association are played here each year. The Dome has hosted an NCAA Men's Basketball Regional four times. In 1999 Pope John Paul II held mass in the stadium with over 104,000 people in attendance for the service.

We attended the first game at the new stadium on November 12, 1995, against Carolina. It was just the construction of the stadium had delays forced the team to play at Busch Stadium for several games.

And in 1997 I saw two concerts here. One was front row seats, which I won the night
before,  to U2 and the Rolling Stones where the seats were at the very top.
