STAIDIUM U.S. Partners with Center St. Louis To Bring Cutting-Edge Technology to Midwest’s Premier Volleyball and Basketball Facility
STAIDIUM also secures the naming rights to Center St. Louis for the next five years

ST. LOUIS, 19 February 2024 – STAIDIUM U.S., a leader in using artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver automated live sports streaming, has announced a partnership with Center St. Louis to bring state-of-the-art technology to one of the Midwest’s premier volleyball and basketball facilities.

The partnership calls for STAIDIUM to install its AI-powered and 5G-enabled cameras throughout Center St. Louis. These cameras will leverage AI to automatically follow the action on the center’s courts and stream video  — all without manual oversight. With multiple cameras installed throughout the facility, STAIDIUM has the potential to stream video from the nearly four thousand events the center hosts annually. STAIDIUM’s technology will also deliver real-time statistics and state-of-the-art analytics, as well as highlight clips of each game and player edited together using artificial intelligence.

“We are thrilled to partner with STAIDIUM to create the ultimate sports complex,” said Eric Ruehl, General Manager of Center St. Louis. “By combining the power of AI technology with our top-notch sports facilities, we are excited to offer an unmatched sports experience for athletes and fans alike. Center St. Louis is poised to become a destination that redefines the way people engage with sports.”

As part of the agreement, STAIDIUM has also purchased the naming rights to Center St. Louis for the next five years. This will put STAIDIUM’s brand and technology in front of the more than 400-thousand visitors the facility expects in 2024.

“Center St. Louis is a renowned facility with an unbelievable consumer footprint,” said Dave Cochran, Managing Director at STAIDIUM. “It’s a perfect setting for our technology, which can scale to cover the thousands of games the center hosts, and for our brand, which will be introduced to the hundreds of thousands of players, coaches, scouts, and fans who enter its doors every year.”
