Fanreports

The Who played at The Checkerdome. Originally built in 1904 as part of the St. Louis World's Fair, it became known simply as the Arena. In 1977, Ralston Purina bought the St. Louis NHL team, The Blues, and the Arena, where they played. As Ralston Purnia was known as "Checkerboard Square", they changed the name of The Arena to The Checkerdome. That was the name of the building when The Who played there in 1980. I know. I was there. I still have the ticket stub. There was never a building in St.. Louis called the Coliseum.

The Pretenders opened for the Who. The minute they came on stage, the audience started booing and yelling, "punk rock sucks...we want the Who". The irony is the Pretenders were hardly a punk rock band and I doubt the audience had ever listened to them. I worked at a radio station there for a brief period and the program manager wouldn't even consider adding the Pretenders or the Police to their song rotation. Too radical, lol. St Louisans were always a decade behind the times.
