2026 U.S. Nationals - St. Louis!

[skatfan]

United Vans is a St Louis based company so I guess it makes sense to have their convention near their headquarters. I don't know why early January would be a great time to schedule it though. Not exactly STL at it's most scenic.

It's perfect time for moving companies and their vendors, since it is low season for them.

Figure Skating Icon Kristi Yamaguchi To Accept 2025 Stan Musial Lifetime Achievement Award For Sportsmanship

.... Yamaguchi will accept the highest award for sportsmanship at this year’s Musial Awards presented by Maryville University on November 22 at Stifel Theatre in St. Louis. The special award recognizes iconic sports figures who have embodied class, dignity, generosity, integrity, and excellence throughout their lives and careers. Previous recipients include Bob Costas, Bill Bradley, Albert Pujols, Wayne & Janet Gretzky, Hank Aaron, Bart Conner & Nadia Comaneci, Jim Thome, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Cal Ripken, Jr., Arnold Palmer, and Joe Torre.​

​

“We are thrilled that Kristi Yamaguchi is receiving the pinnacle honor bestowed at the Musial Awards,” said Marc Schreiber, president of the St. Louis Sports Commission and executive producer of the Musial Awards.​

​

... It is named for St. Louis Cardinals legend Stan Musial, a beloved baseball icon and civic ambassador, who was the ultimate good sport. ...​

​

The Musial Awards will air throughout the country on CBS on December 28. ...​

Press release does not mention that St. Louis will host Nats in Jan 2026, but I'm posting in this thread because I'm guessing that one way or another, USFS will find a way to congratulate Kristi and to weave in a plug for Nats.
(Even though awards will air on CBS.)

Availability is getting quite limited for certain types of tickets. If of interest to anyone who has not purchased yet, today I am seeing (for example):

18 seats for Weekend Packages​

15 lower-bowl seats for Session 6, Championship Pairs Free Skate (Groups 2&3) & Championship Women Free Skate (Groups 2&3)​

[For upper-bowl seats, plenty of availability.]​

(I have not checked every ticketing category. Just trying to give a general idea that it's possible that certain types of tickets could sell out by the time that January rolls around.)
