Stifel Theatre Parking

1400 Market Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63103

NOTICE: Traffic in St. Louis by the Stifel Theatre can get busier at times of the major events. We typically recommend allowing extra time to arrive, park and walk to the venues entrance.

On-Site Parking

Stifel Theatre itself does not offer dedicated on-site parking lots directly attached to the venue. However, it is connected to the adjacent Enterprise Center (formerly known as Scottrade Center), which shares some parking facilities. The primary on-site option is the Enterprise Center Garage, located just steps away at 1401 Clark Avenue. This multi-level garage provides convenient access via a short walk or skybridge to Stifel Theatre. It accommodates around 1,200 vehicles and is often open for theatre events. Fees for the Enterprise Center Garage typically range from $10 to $30 per event, depending on demand and whether it’s a high-profile show. Pre-paid parking passes can sometimes be purchased through Ticketmaster or the venue’s official website when buying event tickets, which guarantees a spot and may offer slight discounts. Note that the garage can fill up quickly, especially for sold-out performances, so arriving early is advisable. Accessibility parking is available on the lower levels for those with valid permits.

Nearby Parking Lots

If on-site options are full, several nearby parking lots and garages provide alternatives within a 5-10 minute walk. The Kiel Center Garage at 1515 Market Street offers over 800 spots with rates around $10-$25 for events. Another reliable choice is the Civic Center Garage at 1400 Olive Street, managed by the city, with similar pricing and capacity for about 600 vehicles. For more affordable options, consider the Union Station Parking Garage (1820 Market Street), roughly 0.5 miles away, where fees start at $5-$15. Apps like ParkMobile or SpotHero allow reservations in advance, often with dynamic pricing. Private lots around Market Street, such as those near the Peabody Opera House, may charge $15-$20 but offer shuttle services during major events. Be cautious of unofficial lots that might overcharge or lack security.

Street Parking Options

Street parking is available but limited in downtown St. Louis. Metered spots along Market Street, Clark Avenue, and surrounding blocks are free after 7 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends, but they require payment (about $1-$2 per hour) during business hours (typically 8 AM-7 PM). Use the ParkSTL app for payments and to check availability. Time limits are enforced (2-4 hours), and restrictions apply during events to prevent congestion. Free unmetered street parking can sometimes be found on side streets like 14th Street or Chestnut Street, but these fill up fast and may have resident-only zones. Always check for signage to avoid towing – downtown has strict no-parking areas near venues during shows. Electric vehicle charging spots are sparse but available on some metered streets.

General Parking Tips

Plan ahead: Use apps like Waze or Google Maps for real-time traffic and parking updates. Public transit via MetroLink (Civic Center Station is nearby) or rideshares like Uber/Lyft can avoid parking hassles altogether – drop-off is at the main entrance. Arrive 1-2 hours early for popular events to secure spots and account for security lines. Cash and cards are accepted at most lots, but have both ready. For accessibility needs, contact the venue at (314) 499-7600 in advance. Lastly, be mindful of weather; covered garages are preferable in rain or snow. With these strategies, parking at Stifel Theatre can be stress-free, enhancing your event experience.
