Energizer Park in St. Louis is the home of St. Louis City SC and the newest soccer-specific stadium in Major League Soccer. Built in the city's downtown West End, it gave St. Louis its first top-division professional soccer home after decades of near-miss expansion bids. The steep seating bowl and dedicated supporters sections create an instant atmosphere, with City SC's inaugural 2023 season drawing sellout crowds that validated the market. Match nights blend St. Louis's soccer history — the old Stars and Ambush eras — with a modern MLS identity.
Energizer Park opened in 2023 as CITYPARK before Energizer secured naming rights, debuting alongside St. Louis City SC's inaugural MLS season. The stadium was designed by HOK and Populous with input from supporter groups who had waited years for a team. City SC's fast start in league play gave the building immediate credibility as one of MLS's toughest home environments. Energizer's naming deal tied a St. Louis-born brand to the city's return to major-league sports.
