Review of Scottrade Center & St. Louis B...

Although Jim Gaffigan was incredibly funny and all...

Although Jim Gaffigan was incredibly funny and all we hoped he would be, the seats were not! We spent over 80 bucks a ticket for what turned out to be marginal seats. The stage was in the round, which didn't really work since the arena is OVAL shaped. Also, we were on the floor/ice way too far from the stage, and since the floor/ice obviously isn't raked (slanted), it made it very hard to see over the heads in front of us. The better seats, actually, (and probably cheaper) would have been NOT on the floor/ice, but in the stands in a narrower section of the oval. Very disheartening, adding up to a very lackluster experience, quite regardless of the performer, who was absolutely superb (even if we spent most of the time looking up at the big screen rather than the actual performer far too far in front of us). We'll probably want to see Jim Gaffigan again, just to make up for this lacking venue.
