Worth knowing before you sign
No published capacities
Not one Collinsville venue publishes a capacity in the open sources behind this page. Every room on the list will quote you a number directly, but you cannot compare them before you call, so build a fortnight of venue calls into the plan.
The city is smaller than the market
23,766 people live in Collinsville itself, but about 2.8 million live in the wider St. Louis, MO-IL. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
