About Chaifetz Arena

Chaifetz Arena opened in 2008 at 1 South Compton Avenue on the Saint Louis University campus in Midtown St. Louis. Owned and operated by Saint Louis University and named for Richard Chaifetz, the arena seats approximately 10,600 for basketball, with capacity adjusted for concerts and other event configurations. Its campus setting gives it a strong university identity while keeping it connected to the larger Midtown entertainment corridor.

The arena is home to the Saint Louis University Billikens men’s and women’s basketball programs, both NCAA Division I teams in the Atlantic 10. Beyond college basketball, Chaifetz Arena hosts concerts across multiple genres, comedy shows, family entertainment, community events, and university programming. Since opening, it has become a regular stop for national touring acts, gospel, R&B, and contemporary artists, with performers such as CeCe Winans among scheduled events.

Chaifetz Arena is known for its modern, intimate indoor design, with a close-to-the-action bowl that works well for both Billikens basketball and touring entertainment.

Location & Transportation

Chaifetz Arena is located at 1 South Compton Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63103 — on the Saint Louis University campus in Midtown St. Louis near Grand Boulevard and the Grand Center arts district.

Driving and Parking: On-campus and nearby lots and garages serve Chaifetz Arena, including Saint Louis University parking facilities. Drivers can reach the area from Interstate 64, also known as Highway 40, using the Grand or Compton exits. For popular games and high-demand shows, nearby lots fill as event time approaches, so arriving early gives you more parking options and a smoother walk to the arena.

Transit: Public transit access is available through the Grand MetroLink station and MetroBus routes along Grand Boulevard. For guests staying in or near central St. Louis, transit can be a practical way to reach the Midtown area without managing post-event parking.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup works well in the arena’s Midtown location, though traffic can build along Compton Avenue and nearby campus streets after events. Planning for a short wait after the final buzzer, encore, or curtain call can make post-event pickup easier.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are available in Midtown, downtown St. Louis, and the Central West End. Midtown is closest to the arena, while downtown and the Central West End are a short drive away and offer broader lodging options.

Venue Navigation

Chaifetz Arena has a compact indoor layout built around a single continuous seating bowl, which makes it easier to move from entry to concourse to section. Understanding the basic lower-level, upper-section, and premium-area setup helps you compare seats and navigate efficiently on event night.

Entrances and Access: Main entrances serve the arena bowl from the concourse level, with guests entering from the surrounding Saint Louis University campus plaza area. Digital ticket verification and entry screening take place before guests proceed into the concourse.

Seating Levels: The arena uses a single-bowl design with lower seating around the floor, upper sections above, and suite and club areas for premium guests. This structure keeps the venue feeling intimate for basketball while allowing the floor to be reconfigured for concerts and other performances.

Accessibility: ADA-accessible seating and services are available throughout Chaifetz Arena. Accessible areas are incorporated into the arena layout so guests can choose seats that fit their event experience and mobility needs.

Getting to Your Section: Concourse signage and event staff help direct guests to their sections. Because the bowl is compact, navigation is generally straightforward, though stairs and concourse walking are part of the experience.

Dining Options

Inside Chaifetz Arena

Chaifetz Arena offers concession stands with standard arena fare and beverages. Alcohol is typically available at events, and lines can build near tipoff, showtime, halftime, and intermission, so visiting concessions before peak breaks can save time.

Outside the Venue — Midtown St. Louis

Midtown St. Louis and the nearby Grand Center arts district offer restaurants and bars within the surrounding area. The Central West End dining scene is also a short drive away, giving guests more options before or after a Billikens game, concert, comedy show, or family event.

Security & Policies

Chaifetz Arena maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: A clear-bag or limited-bag policy is typically enforced at Chaifetz Arena. Small bags are generally subject to size limits and search, and bringing a compliant bag helps keep entry moving.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras, and similar items are generally restricted. Items considered a safety risk can also be denied at entry.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is generally not permitted once guests have exited. Re-entry rules can vary by event and are shown on the event listing.

How Much Do Tickets to Chaifetz Arena Cost?

Chaifetz Arena ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from SLU Billikens basketball to in-demand concerts, comedy, and family shows.

For Saint Louis University Billikens basketball, tickets are commonly priced around $15 to $60, with higher prices possible for marquee matchups. Upper-level and corner or baseline seats often provide the most affordable entry point, while lower-level sideline and courtside locations carry stronger demand.

For concerts, comedy, and family shows at Chaifetz Arena, tickets are typically around $35 to $150 or more, depending on the act, event type, demand, and seat location. Floor seating, front lower-bowl sections, and premium areas often price higher for popular performers.

Chaifetz Arena Seating Guide

Chaifetz Arena’s single-bowl layout makes seat selection straightforward, but the best choice depends on whether you are attending a Billikens basketball game, a concert, a comedy show, or a family event. Basketball seating centers around the court, while concerts may use floor seating or other event-specific configurations.

Best Seats at Chaifetz Arena

• Best value: Upper-level and corner or baseline sections are typically the most affordable areas, offering a broader view of the court, floor, or stage at a lower price point.
• Closest to the action: Courtside and front-row lower-bowl seats put basketball fans near the court, while floor seating provides maximum proximity for concerts when that configuration is offered.
• Best overall experience: Lower-level sideline and center sections provide strong overall sightlines for basketball and solid views for concerts, balancing proximity with a clear view of the stage or court.
• Premium and suite options: Suites and club seating serve premium guests and groups looking for an elevated experience with more privacy and upgraded service areas.
• For groups: Coordinating seats early is helpful for high-demand games and concerts, especially when your group wants to sit together in the same section and row area.
• General admission: Some concerts may offer general admission floor seating, while basketball events use reserved seating.

Getting Ready for Your Chaifetz Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus arena where nearby lots and Midtown streets can get busy before popular events.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Nearby lots fill and campus-area streets can become congested near event time, especially for popular games and shows.
• Wear the right footwear. Chaifetz Arena is a standard indoor arena with stairs and concourse walking, so comfortable shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress for the trip in and out. The arena is indoor and climate-controlled, but St. Louis weather can still affect your walk from parking, rideshare, or transit.
• Know your entrance. Your section and seating information can help you choose the most convenient approach, and the compact single-bowl layout keeps navigation simple once you are inside.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
