ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The stadium that will host the inaugural St. Louis CITY SC game in 2023 is starting to take shape. The team shared images of the grandstands that will surround the future pitch.

The yet-to-be-named venue is rising in Downtown West, next to Union Station. It's set to be completed in the summer 2022 and will be a one-of-a-kind project, as no other Major League Soccer clubs has its front offices, training facility, practice fields and stadium all in the same location.
