America's Center

America's Center is a convention center located in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, and is situated next to the Dome at America's Center, the former home of the National Football League's St. Louis Rams (now the Los Angeles Rams) and the current home of the XFL's St. Louis BattleHawks. The Center and the Dome often combine to hold large events. The venue opened in 1977 as the Cervantes Convention Center (named for former mayor Alfonso J. Cervantes), and has held many events over the years, including the Working Women's Survival Show, the All-Canada Show, the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting, the St. Louis Boat and Sports Show, and the triennial Urbana Christian missions conference.
