Trip choice: Charlotte vs. St. Louis

I have a choice of these two cities to attend a conference in late October. Which would be preferable in terms of weather, tourist attractions, tours, etc.?

We definitely don't have the Arch. We do have great dining. We have NFL football. Gorgeous weather. Nice niche style museums.
As Sayler says, what do you want to happen.

As a big fan of St Louis, I would go there. The cathedral, the arch, fantastic food, a pretty good museum, beautiful zoo, river boat, St Charles, clubs, music, etc. all in all, an interesting city.
