Chaifetz Arena is the home of Saint Louis Billikens basketball in St. Louis, Missouri. Opened in 2008, it gave the program its first true on-campus home in decades and serves as an Atlantic 10 Conference showcase venue. Beyond Billikens basketball, it is one of St. Louis's busiest concert and events arenas, hosting major touring acts and other productions throughout the year.
The arena is named for Saint Louis University alumnus and ComPsych CEO Richard Chaifetz, whose $12 million gift supported its construction; it opened on April 10, 2008 and hosted SLU's first on-campus commencement in 60 years that same spring. Its on-campus location helped reinvigorate the Billikens' home atmosphere after years away from campus. The arena has since hosted major touring artists including Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, and Sabrina Carpenter, whose 2025 show set the building's attendance record at 11,727, along with AEW's Dynasty and WrestleDream pay-per-views.
