Where Do the St. Louis Blues Play?
For twenty years, the Blues played at the St. Louis Arena/Checkerdome. Since the new facility was built by the city of St. Louis in 1995, the Blues have played at:
  • The Kiel Center

  • Savvis Center

  • TBD
Just one more instance of how sports are killing tradition. The very name of the same venue changing every couple of years--and lots of venues have--breaks the link between the sports team present and the sports team past that fuels successful sports teams who've built a franchise and a fan base over time.

Granted, it's not as bad as moving teams from city to city whenever the owner things it's time for a free new stadium, but it's part of the overall trend (including free agency) that's made a sporting event as ephemeral as a rock concert.
