St. Louis Shines as U.S. Figure Skating Championships End With Electric Crowds
Former Olympic skaters praised St. Louis for a packed U.S. Figure Skating Championships at Enterprise Center, calling the crowds electric. Scott Hamilton and Carl Heiss noted the full house—the first since pre-COVID—along with strong fan engagement and on-ice talent, signaling momentum for Milan-Cortina. About 60,000 fans attended, and the event is expected to generate roughly $20 million in economic impact and nearly $1 million in tax revenue for the city.
