ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Saint Louis FC announced that the U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round match against the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer (MLS) on Tuesday, June 11th at 7:30 p.m. CT will be played at Harlen C. Hunter Stadium at Lindenwood University, due to minor flooding at the World Wide Technology Soccer Park.

The U.S. Open Cup is the oldest national soccer competition in the country with a proud history of St. Louis champions dating back to 1920 when Ben Millers won the tournament at Hadlan’s Park which is now the campus of Saint Louis University. Since the tournament started in 1913, there have been 11 champions from St. Louis with the most recent being the St. Louis Busch Seniors who won in 1988 at the Soccer Park. Lindenwood University will join the historic list of venues for the U.S. Open Cup in St. Louis amongst Hadlan’s Park, High School Field, Sportsman’s Park, and Soccer Park.

The game will mark the first occasion that Saint Louis FC has played in St. Charles County and only the second time that an MLS team has played in the St. Louis region after the Chicago Fire narrowly won 1-0 at World Wide Technology Soccer Park in front of 6,000+ fans in 2017. Saint Louis FC has faced MLS opposition on only two previous occasions with the first in 2015 as the team lost 1-0 away to Sporting KC.

“We are excited to bring Saint Louis FC, and our Major League Soccer opponent, to St. Charles County. This change in location represents an opportunity to bring professional soccer to another area of St. Louis,” said Patrick Barry, STLFC President. “The silver lining with our minor flooding situation is being able to add another community field to the long list of locations that have hosted a U.S. Open Cup match in this historic city.”

Join Saint Louis FC for this historic night as the highest level of professional soccer competes in St. Charles for the first time. Tickets are now on sale for $19 across the entire stadium, contact the ticket office at 636-680-0997 or email tickets@saintlouisfc.com to book your experience today.
