When the St. Louis Rams left St. Louis, MLS commissioner Donald P. Garber wasted no time. He immediately sent a letter to St. Louis mayor Francis Slay offering his condolences for the loss of such a beloved sports franchise. However, he closed his letter of condolence by expressing his excitement over building a MLS expansion team in St. Louis.
That excitement is building as the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that MLS is searching for a stadium location in downtown St. Louis “immediately.” Some locations that are being looked at include the riverside location that was proposed for the new Rams stadium as well as Union Station.
