ST. LOUIS – You will no longer be required to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or wear masks when attending St. Louis Blues games. This goes for other events at the Enterprise Center and Stifel Theatre as well.

It comes as the City of St. Louis announced its indoor mask mandate will expire at 11:59 p.m. Saturday. St. Louis officials made the move after a decline in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and positivity percentage rate, along with updated guidance from the CDC.

The policy change will be in place for fans attending the Missouri Valley Conference men’s basketball tournament championship game Sunday. The policy will go into effect at the Stifel Theatre Monday, March 7.

There are some shows and concerts at both venues that may be subject to vaccination or mask protocols at the request of the artist. For example, proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID test will be required for Sunday’s performance of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Live!

The vaccination or negative test requirement policy was introduced in October, ahead of the Blues' first regular season home game, and had applied to all guests, event staff, sponsors, news media and all who entered Enterprise Center and Stifel Theatre.

"It's because of that commitment, here and throughout our community, that we're able to make this announcement today. "We are extremely grateful for everyone's support and compliance over the past five months,” said Chris Zimmerman, President and CEO of Business Operations of the St. Louis Blues, Enterprise Center and Stifel Theatre.

Zimmerman says there is always the potential of having to revisit the vaccination or negative test policy, but he hopes that is not the case.
