Parking is free at casino queens. There is a train called the metro. 5 dollars round trip. Best deal in Saint Louis. It drops you off right at the dome and also front door of Busch stadium. Been doing it the last 7 years. Wouldn't do anything different

I live in St Louis metro area so I'll chime in my ideas and opinion.
I would not get on Metrolink trains right now for any reason. My favotite parking for the dome, and I've been there tons of times, is on 9th street between Lucas St and Convention Plaza. It is surface parking and the best part is you can enter the convention center at Washington and 9th and take the halls of it to the dome. Very secure and warm. It will be $15 or $20 to park there depending on the owners mood that day. The 7th street garage is close to the dome it was always $20 there for a Rams game. The Rotary Club lot and the Missouri Athletic Club lot and garage are right at the dome. Both charged $30 for a Rams game. It was $25 for Supercross last winter which should be that or less for this weekend as the crowds will not be near as large as Supercross. Do NOT go north of the dome to park. .

Not familiar with the Oyster Bar but we'll file that away in the feeble memory banks for future reference. IIRC the parking behind Gitto's was more than $10 but I could be mistaken..........again.

This will be my first year at Gateway. I'm coming up on Saturday to watch all the features. Does anyone know if the exhaust fumes get very bad in the stadium? I've been to the DuQuion indoor race and Indy indoor midget race fiasco a few years back and remember the exhaust fumes got kind of bad. My brother is bringing my young nephew to his first race and want to make sure it not going to choke him out. Thanks.

I've been to the Dome both years & to DuQuoin & Indy Indoors. Fumes not as bad in the dome. I do take my goggles with me as every once in a while the eyes burn a bit.

I recommend the Broadway Oyster Bar. Great food and atmosphere. Ate there at the last Gold Crown. Will file Charlie Gitto's.

One more question, do the seats have back rests?
