ST. LOUIS (KMOX)--St. Louis City SC is selling the naming rights of CITY PARK to St. Louis-based Energizer Holdings Inc. Beginning the 2025 season, CITYPARK will be renamed Energizer Park.
"Energizer is one of the most well-respected, recognizable brands in the world and is part of the fabric of the St. Louis region," said CITY SC CEO Carolyn Kindle. "Energizer aligns with CITY SC in so many ways – it’s an innovative brand that delivers and embodies long lasting energy, equaling the passion and energy of our fans on matchdays, and through this partnership shows its commitment to improving the St. Louis region."
"We look forward to collaborating with Energizer to be a catalyst for continued growth in St. Louis and cannot wait to see our fans pack Energizer Park starting in 2025."
In addition to stadium naming rights, which will begin on Jan. 1, 2025, CITY SC and Energizer will work together on community programming and deliver an immersive fan experience by introducing a new premium seating area within Energizer Park.
"This is truly an exceptional moment for Energizer as we find new ways to engage our community, connect with our consumers and expand the reach of our iconic brand," said Energizer Holdings President and CEO Mark LaVigne. "MLS and soccer in the U.S. are experiencing tremendous growth, especially as North America prepares to host the FIFA World Cup in 2026. We are thrilled to be part of it all with CITY SC."
"City SC reflects the best of St. Louis and embodies the indominable spirit of the Energizer Bunny. The atmosphere at City SC home games is unmatched and with our global headquarters here, we are honored to partner with the team to put a global spotlight on this incredible city."
CITYPARK originally was supposed to be named Centene Stadium after City SC agreed to a 15-year partnership with the St. Louis-based corporation Centene Corporation in February 2022, but Centene would back out of the agreement in October 2022 as it was looking to cut back costs. However, Centene remained as a sponsor with City SC.
