The 30-acre Energizer Park, home to the professional soccer team City SC, will be known as St. Louis Stadium for the duration of the Olympic Games. The site is the largest urban professional sports campus in the United States.

Spencer noted that the 2028 Summer Olympics mark the return of Olympic competition to St. Louis, which hosted the Games in 1904.

“While a few things have changed since then, we know that these Games will showcase the absolute best of our city! People will be travelling from around the world to our great city to experience our food, our culture, and our community. We can’t wait to welcome them!” she said.

The mayor also expressed gratitude to the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games team for selecting Energizer Park as a venue.

“Sports bring us together and every four years, we pause and celebrate. In 2028 our city will have a lot to cheer about!” Spencer added.
