Story & Inspiration

The Checkerdome captures the gritty, unforgettable energy of the St. Louis Arena, the original home of the Blues and one of the most storied venues in American sports. Opened in 1929, the building became home to the St. Louis Blues in 1967, witnessing decades of unforgettable moments and hosting three consecutive Stanley Cup Finals in the team’s first three seasons. Fans were spoiled to witness Blues legends like Bernie Federko, Garry Unger, the Plager brothers, Brett Hull, Red Berenson, Al MacInnis, Brian Sutter, and Curtis Joseph.

From 1977 to 1983, the arena was known as The Checkerdome during its ownership by Ralston Purina, whose checkerboard branding left a lasting visual legacy. I bring that era to life with bold colorwork, a red-and-white theme, layered textures, and subtle nods to architectural structure, melding nostalgia, fandom, and design into one expressive tribute. More than a building, “The Old Barn” remains part of the city’s sports soul.
