Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber will appear in St. Louis Monday to drum up support for public funding for a new soccer stadium.

Garber will be joined by representatives of SC STL, the ownership group hoping to secure an MLS expansion franchise for St. Louis, and other local sports personalities, the league confirmed Wednesday.

The event will be held at Ballpark Village at 5:15 p.m.

“MLS executives are visiting all 12 potential expansion markets during the coming months,” MLS spokesman Dan Courtemanche said. “We have already visited some markets.”

St. Louis is one of 12 cities vying for four expansion teams the league will add in the next few years. Two of those teams will be awarded later this year, with St. Louis widely considered one of the favorites.
