About America's Center Convention Complex
Located at 701 Convention Plaza in the heart of downtown St. Louis, the America's Center Convention Complex is a multi-venue hub for conventions, concerts, sports, and large-scale events. The complex comprises the Cervantes Convention Center, The Dome at America’s Center (also known as The Dome, Trans World Dome, or Edward Jones Dome in its history), Ferrara Theatre, and the St. Louis Executive Conference Center. With nearly 574,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space across seven halls and around 66,000–67,000 seats in the Dome configuration for large events, this is a cornerstone of St. Louis event hosting. Whether you’re attending a conference, a major concert, or a sporting event, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options.
From easy access via MetroLink at the Convention Center stop to convenient parking in the Americas Center Garage and Convention Plaza Garage, planning your trip is straightforward. Downtown St. Louis offers ample hotel options within walking distance—roughly 8,000 rooms in the immediate area—plus a variety of dining choices. For organizers and attendees alike, the AC Next Gen expansion continues to enhance the complex with a larger ballroom, expanded exhibit space, and improved entrances, ensuring flexible setups for today’s events.
