The Blues have continued to make upgrades at Enterprise Center, the team said at a media luncheon designed to spread the news.

According to the St. Louis Business Journal, changes include a “frictionless security screening” at the main entrance on Clark — presumably this would be similar to what’s used at City SC’s CityPark — upgrades to back-of-house kitchens and several suites that you and I will never sit in, as well as the addition of a second Mission Taco (replacing Lion’s Choice, so sad) and Steve’s Hot Dogs.

Among the Steve’s Hot Dogs varieties offered at Blues games will be “The Blue Note Dog — a specialty dog featuring a smoked all-beef hot dog topped with mac and cheese, St. Louis-style wing sauce and blue cheese on a French bun,” which…well sure, why not?

Overall, the upgrades continue the roughly $150 million in renovations completed between 2017-19, which were partly publicly funded, all as part of that effort to keep the 1994 arena somewhat current and attracting concerts, corporate sponsors and some basic decent wi-fi.
