Compiled by FIRST Team 1208 So, you’re coming to St. Louis!

You might have some questions...

What’s different & what’s the same? (page 2) Where can we stay? (page 3) Where can we eat lunch? (page 4) Where can we eat dinner? (page 5-6) What can we do in our spare time?

Both venues are convention centers connected to an indoor stadium used for NFL games. The St. Louis convention center is adjacent to the stadium, thus the distance from the pits to the playing fields will be considerably shorter than it was in Atlanta. The Edward Jones Dome (EJD) is in downtown St. Louis, while the Georgia Dome is slightly outside of downtown Atlanta. This means that the access to the EJD will be more congested and the load in/out area is smaller. Teams should anticipate that unloading/loading busses and/or equipment will take longer in St. Louis than in Atlanta. Both St. Louis and Atlanta are large urban areas and thus have the problems usually associated with such areas. Teams should use the same safety precautions as in Atlanta. Unlike Atlanta, St. Louis has several hotels located within one block of the venue. Teams using these hotels will not need vehicles for transport to and from the venue. The Georgia Dome is located right next to the CNN Center where there is an expansive food court. Downtown St. Louis does not have an equivalent facility. Numerous restaurants, delis, and diners, however, are located a short walk south of the EJD. Page 4 of this document locates several of these food sources. Both Atlanta and St. Louis have paid parking next to the venue. Several St. Louis parking garages are very conveniently located. Cheaper alternatives are a block or two away. It is recommended that teams use the paid parking rather than parking in the street.
