Getting there

Energizer Park sits in the Downtown West neighborhood of St. Louis, just west of downtown along Market Street and immediately adjacent to Union Station. MetroLink light rail's Union Station stop is a short walk from the stadium — both the Red and Blue Lines serve it. Driving in uses I-64 (Highway 40) with team-affiliated and adjacent garages ringing the park; reserving in advance via the parking link above typically beats matchday pricing on the busiest dates. Rideshare drop-off zones are signed along Market Street and 20th Street. Confirm bag and entry rules on the St. Louis CITY SC official site before going.

The neighborhood

The stadium anchors the broader CITYPARK / Energizer Park district, with a team training facility and supporters' plaza on the footprint and Union Station's restored complex (now a hotel, aquarium, and Ferris wheel) immediately east. The Central West End neighborhood with its restaurants and bars sits a short ride west, and downtown St. Louis with Ballpark Village and Busch Stadium is a 15-minute walk east. The MX/Power & Light district isn't a feature here as in Kansas City — the pre-match scene is concentrated on the team-operated supporters' plaza and in nearby Downtown West and Central West End bars. The Gateway Arch and Mississippi riverfront are a longer walk or short ride east.

Where to eat & drink nearby

Walkable pre-match stops include Hi-Pointe Drive-In (the destination St. Louis smashburger a short ride west), Schlafly Tap Room (the flagship Schlafly brewpub a short walk north on Locust Street), and Union Station Soda Fountain (the restored Union Station complex immediately east of the stadium hosts multiple restaurants and bars). Pappy's Smokehouse is the destination St. Louis barbecue stop in Midtown a short ride west. Charlie Gitto's on The Hill is the destination toasted-ravioli sit-down a short ride southwest. Olio in Botanical Heights is Ben Poremba's destination Mediterranean restaurant a short ride southwest. Bailey's Range downtown is a casual burger option for pre-match dinner. Pre-match crowds at the closest bars build quickly within 90 minutes of kickoff.

First-timer tips

Arrive earlier than feels necessary — the supporters' march from the team-operated plaza into the stadium is a core part of the matchday experience, and security screening at the main gates can stack up. CITY SC's St. Louligans supporters' section sits in the north end and produces some of the loudest, most-organized atmosphere in MLS. The stadium is the first MLS venue built to be carbon-neutral in operations and uses an open canopy design that keeps the seating bowl mostly open-air. The team publishes current bag policy, clear-bag rules, and gate-open times on its official site and these change season to season — check before traveling. Mobile-only tickets and cash-free concessions are the norm.

Best games to catch

CITY SC's strongest matchday demand comes from regional rivals and marquee-club visits. Sporting Kansas City visits anchor the deepest in-state-adjacent rivalry — the Show-Me Series — and consistently price above season average. Chicago Fire FC, FC Dallas, and Minnesota United visits carry Western Conference weight. Visits from LAFC, Inter Miami CF (with Lionel Messi), and the LA Galaxy peak demand. The team's promotional matchday calendar — supporters' scarves, themed nights, Hispanic Heritage Night — is published on the official site and varies year to year. CITY SC's record-setting 2023 inaugural-season performance (winning the Western Conference regular-season title) established the building as a routine playoff venue.

What to know

Energizer Park opened in November 2022 (with regular-season MLS play beginning in March 2023) as the home of St. Louis CITY SC, MLS's first majority-female-owned ownership group's expansion team. The stadium was originally branded CITYPARK and was renamed Energizer Park in March 2024 when Energizer Holdings — the St. Louis-based battery and consumer-products company — acquired the naming rights. The building is the first MLS venue designed to be carbon-neutral in operations and incorporates extensive solar capacity, water-reuse systems, and the city's first all-electric stadium kitchen. CITY SC's 2023 inaugural MLS season produced a record-setting expansion run, finishing first in the Western Conference standings and producing one of the league's most decorated debuts. The St. Louligans supporters' section in the north end has quickly established itself as one of MLS's loudest organized atmospheres. The stadium sits adjacent to Union Station's restored complex in Downtown West, with the team's training facility on the same campus.

MetroLink light rail's Union Station stop is a short walk from the stadium — both the Red and Blue Lines serve it. The Red Line connects to Lambert Airport and the Blue Line runs to the eastern Illinois suburbs. Rideshare drop-off zones are signed along Market Street and 20th Street.

Where can I park near Energizer Park?

Is Energizer Park the same as CITYPARK?
