The Arena was an oval shaped building, seating nearly 20,000 persons. At one time, Ralston Purina purchased the building and it became home of the St. Louis Blues Hockey team. They put the company logo on top of the roof and it became known as the Checkerdome. 
It was a great site for conventions, concerts, circuses, ice shows, flea markets, animal shows and sports competitions because of its lamella roof was supported by 20 cantilever steel trusses, eliminated the need for view-obscuring internal support pillars.Cake artist - Sandra Schuchardt
