We are currently thinking of getting to there around noon to have enough time.

The St. Louis airport experience on Sunday has varied over the past 4 years. I would leave at least 2 hours to navigate baggage check in and security. There have been some years where there were exceptionally long wait times to check bags, in addition to the security line. There are often lots of teams with students where flying is a new experience and the little things (boarding pass in hand, id ready, understanding what needs to be taken out of checked bags and pockets) is slower and there is a domino effect.
