FYI: US Coachways is NOT the same as Coach USA. We use Coach USA and have been happy with them. They have their own busses.
Note: Whether Amtrak is cheaper or not depends upon whether you need transportation in St. Louis:
1) O'Hare Airport in Chicago to Amtrak Station downtown
2) Amtrak Station in St. Louis to Hotel
3) Between Hotel and Arena - Morning and evening each day
4) Arena to Amtrak station after event
5) Amtrak station in Chicago to O'Hare airport
Amtrak is $54 per person round trip (don't know about group discount). You might be able to rent a Coach Bus for about $80/person for the entire trip.
