23 BRAND NEW THINGS TO DO ACROSS THE METRO AREA THIS YEAR

01 CHEER ON ST. LOUIS CITY SC.

22,500 FANS

CITYPARK stadium will seat 22,500 fans, yet it was designed in such a way that capacity can expand to 25,000. Seating options range from general admission to suites to boxes next to the pitch. The Supporter Section, behind the north goal, will be the place where diehards congregate.

120 FEET

No matter where you sit, you'll be within 120 feet of the pitch. The closest seats will be 15 feet from the touchline. Even upper-level seats are close to the pitch, which sits 40 feet below street level.

GATEWAY ARCH

The canopy roof was designed to reflect light, protect fans from the elements, and hold sound. Another cool fact about the roof? The color and paneling on the underside of the canopy pay homage to the Gateway Arch.

ULTRA CLUB

Located on the south end of the stadium, the ULTRA Club will feature 17 LED screens, a large bar, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a view of downtown and the Arch.

17-20 MATCHES

Count on CITY SC to play 17 to 20 regular season matches—most of them on Wednesdays and Saturdays—plus three exhibitions each year. The venue will also host concerts, high school and college sporting events, camps, and more.

LOCAL FLAVOR

At least 25 local food and beverage partners will be stationed across 52 locations at CITYPARK, and Niche Food Group's Gerard Craft has been tasked with making their menus sing. Among the headlining partners are Brasserie by Niche. Pastaria Deli & Wine, Balkan Treat Box, Steve's Hot Dogs, and BEAST Craft BBQ.

CITY SC APP

You can download the official CITY SC app to maximize the stadium experience. Tickets will be distributed virtually, and the stadium is entirely cashless. The app can also be used to order concessions before stepping in line.

OPEN SPACE

There will be pet-friendly areas and green space around the stadium. Lou Fusz Plaza is a 125.500-square-foot terrace that features 24,000 square feet of green space and 1,000 linear feet of trail running along 20th Street. It will have a concession stand, power sources for food trucks, and space for more portable concession stands.

BEYOND THE PITCH

Didn't score tickets? Don't fret. , a 200-seat sports bar in the northwest corner of Union Station, will cater to soccer fans when it opens this spring. The 9,000-square-foot space, which formerly housed Señior Julio's, will open at 6:30 a.m. on weekends to air European soccer matches. And just a few blocks from the stadium, , a sort of museum-meets-hotel, will offer a
