The Dome at America's Center

Built in 1995, The Dome at America's Center (formerly Edward Jones Dome) became a defining part of downtown St. Louis and one of the region's most recognizable sports and event venues. Originally developed to attract major conventions and support professional football, the project helped position St. Louis for large-scale events and long-term economic growth. Following the NFL's 1991 expansion announcement, plans were finalized for a new stadium and convention facility, and construction began in 1993.

This multi-purpose venue combines spectator seating with significant convention and exhibition capabilities. Spanning more than 1.7 million gross square feet, The Dome at America's Center includes 200,000 square feet of convention and trade show space for exhibitions, meetings, registration, and special events. The facility can operate independently or in conjunction with the adjacent Cervantes Convention Center, creating one of the Midwest's premier event destinations.

As one of Mortenson's early sports venue projects, The Dome at America's Center helped establish a foundation for a growing portfolio of Sports + Entertainment projects, including stadiums, arenas, and event venues that continue to serve communities across North America.

Nearly three decades after opening, The Dome at America's Center remains an important gathering place for sports, conventions, concerts, and community events, reflecting the lasting impact of large-scale civic venue investments in downtown St. Louis.
