Thank you, CBC, for supporting STLP and our students!
STLP is excited to announce that Central Bank Center and Rupp Arena have agreed to make the STLP State Championship a cash friendly event. Food vendors throughout the venue will accept cash or other cashless forms of payment.
Thank you to the Central Bank Center team for recognizing the challenges young students could face in a cashless environment for State. We appreciate their flexibility and support for students. (Note: STLP State is the only event that CBC/Rupp allows cash)
STLP does not require teams to utilize a "conference hotel" instead allowing schools to determine the best solution to match their lodging needs. This flexibility means that your STLP can focus on choosing lodging that meets your preference for convenience, cost savings, and location. However, if a local hotel elects to offer a special "STLP rate", we will include that information below.

Occassionally, local hotels volunteer to offer a special rate for STLP State participants. Information provided by those faciliites will be included here. Inclusion on this list does not consitute endorsement by STLP or the KDE. Thanks to each hotel that chooses to support STLP with these opportunities.
