- Convention Center is a St. Louis MetroLink subway station. It is one of three stations to have an escalator system, with the other two being 8th & Pine and Lambert Airport Terminal 1. This station is located in downtown St. Louis, Missouri and primarily serves the Dome and convention facilities at America's Center, the Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel, and the Washington Avenue Loft District. This station was built within the historic St. Louis Freight Tunnel that originally opened in 1875. Built to carry train traffic from the Eads Bridge to Union Station, it saw its last train (Amtrak) in 1974. Renovation of the tunnels began in 1991 to prepare them for the opening of MetroLink in 1993. In 1992, just east of this station, a portion of the tunnel beneath Washington Avenue and Broadway collapsed, injuring no one. In 1997, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Birds in Flight by artists Peter Tao, Helen Lee, and Stuart and Stacey Morse for installation in the tunnel between the Convention Center and Laclede's Landing stations. The painted panels are meant to mimic the motion of a flying bird. (en)
