Fans headed to the Scottrade Center in St. Louis for the Missouri Valley Conference basketball tournament should be aware that a portion of Interstate 64 — the main road that leads to downtown — will be closed all weekend.

So stoked we continue to hold this event in St. Louis. It's really a joy. They really roll out the red, err, orange carpet.

If you are coming into St. Louis from the east, I strongly suggest taking the MLK bridge. Most people from out of town don't do this. They take I-70/I-64 into downtown and it literally can add an extra 20 mins if there is traffic or construction. The MLK bridge takes you directly to the Edward Jones Dome and Lumiere Place (my favorite). Just some FYI.

Also, I-70 is no longer on the Poplar St. Bridge, it crosses the newly opened Stan Musial Bridge, do not stay on I-70 if coming in from the east as this will now take you north of downtown and really add time to the trip.

I imagine there will be a larger number coming from the southeast this year.
