They played their first game ever just 15 months ago. Nobody expected this to happen. Give it some time

I like FCC, and I admire their fan support. But look at what has happened to their "beloved" reds. For some while they were talked about having the best fan support in baseball. And now look.

What happens if baseball picks back up, can they support both over the summer?

Also, they have to have a new stadium, which seems to be difficult so far.

St Louis - The stadium deal did not get votes. St Louis to MLS is dead. There have been rumors of a renewed effort, but I don't see it happening.


1) STL is the MLS #1 target. if they want stl they cant have stl, but under a new structured deal.

2)2.8 million people live st louis metro. 1.1 million live in st louis county, and 300k live in the city of st louis. Only the city got to vote. IF the County got to vote, id say soccer wins 80/20 if not higher. Our "city" is poor, has bad schools, and high crime. That's why it didnt pass, the residence felt the money could help their shitty city. A new deal with MLS would include the County, and their money, which they have plenty of.

The fact that 300k people got to vote for something that impacts 2.8 million was already stupid and ridiculous. and the MLS is aware of after-the-fact.

Also, yesterday was the 67 year anniversary of when St Louis(USMNT) beat England 1-0 in the 1950 world cup. One of the finest days in St Louis, and the united states soccer history.
