Chaifetz ArenaSaint Louis University's 10,600-seat campus arena in Midtown, sized between downtown hotel ballrooms and Enterprise Center's larger bowl.

Chaifetz Arena is a 10,600-seat multi-purpose arena on the Saint Louis University campus at 1 South Compton Avenue, positioned within the Midtown St. Louis corridor.

Beyond SLU athletics, the arena hosts concerts, sporting events, and private corporate events, and the university positions it as available for community and corporate use with modern production and hospitality infrastructure.

Its capacity sits between a downtown hotel ballroom and Enterprise Center's larger bowl, giving planners a mid-size arena option in the Midtown Grand Center corridor rather than only downtown proper.
