SC STL spokesman Jim Woodcock did not address the city’s chances now for securing an MLS franchise. Woodcock said in a statement that the ownership group met with Ingrassia for nearly two hours Friday and hasn’t heard from her since, despite multiple emails and phone calls through the weekend and Monday.

“She has not called or responded to us, so until we hear from her directly, it’s hard to respond to statements made in the media,” Woodcock said.

Ingrassia said the mayor’s office informed SC STL over the weekend that the bill would not move forward. Slay’s representatives did not respond to a request to confirm Ingrassia’s statement.

Ingrassia also said the ownership group didn’t spend enough time reaching out to the community as their plan developed.

“It’s not just that they didn’t include me in the process early enough, but the public in general,” Ingrassia said. “There should’ve been community hearings and an ability formed at the Board of Aldermen to digest the details, but for the public to as well.”

Ingrassia said she wanted SC STL to show a proposal that was at least “revenue neutral” on the city’s budget over time.
