St. Louis may have not locked down a MLS team (yet), but international soccer teams are making Busch Stadium a destination for friendlies.
On MON AUG 1, Liverpool will take on Roma. Kickoff is set for 7:30p.
Tickets for the event will go on sale WED JUN 8 @ 10a (CT). You can order online here.
From the press release:
This will be the fifth soccer match Busch Stadium has hosted since 2013. Over 48,000 fans packed the ballpark in April, 2013 to watch English Premier League clubs Manchester City and Chelsea meet for a club friendly.
Later that year, Busch Stadium was the site for an International Friendly that saw the national teams from Argentina and Bosnia and Herzegovina square off in November.
Further, 2015 saw both the United States Men’s and Women’s National Soccer Teams visit St. Louis as the U.S. Women defeated New Zealand 4-0 in an International Friendly match in April and the U.S. Men dominated Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 6-1 in front of over 43,000 fans this past November as part of qualification for the 2018 World Cup.
In short – you’re killing it St. Louis. Hopefully MLS is paying attention…
