Energizer Park is Snadcity SC’s stunning new home in downtown St. Louis, officially rebranded in 2025 after a high-profile naming rights deal with local company Energizer. Located two blocks from Union Station, the stadium anchors a 32-acre urban soccer campus — the largest of its kind in the U.S.
As the crowning jewel of the Downtown West district, Energizer Park offers a built-for-soccer, fan-first experience combined with cutting-edge design, stadium integration and a 24/7 civic presence.
Stadium Overview
Address: 2019 Market Street, St. Louis, MO
Opened: November 16, 2022 (initially as CityPark; renamed Energizer Park in 2025)
Capacity: 22,423 seats, expandable up to 25,000
Home Teams: St. Louis CITY SC (MLS), St. Louis CITY 2 (MLS Next Pro)
Surface: Natural Bermuda grass; pitch sits ~40 feet below street level
Architecture & Design Highlights
Designed by HOK and Snow Kreilich Architects, Energizer Park blends technology, sustainability and St. Louis identity:
Every seat is within 120 feet of the pitch, fostering intense atmosphere.
A clear canopy covers upper seating, capturing crowd noise while allowing sunlight to reach the field.
The “Gateway Arch–inspired” portico and transparent corners connect the stadium to the cityscape.
Pillars of the Valley, a public art installation honoring the displaced Mill Creek Valley neighborhood, stands at the southwest entrance.
The stadium is built to revenue-grade sustainability standards, including LED lighting, rainwater collection, recycled steel and a zero-waste initiative.
In late 2024, the venue earned the prestigious 2024 Prix Versailles World Title for sports venues, recognized globally for architectural excellence.
