CITY SC's All-Local Stadium Menu Featured in Forbes

St. Louis CITY SC’s Energizer Park is redefining stadium food. The team’s City Flavor program features local restaurants instead of national chains. The innovative approach has funneled over $7 million to small businesses in St. Louis, drawn fans Downtown for pre-game dining experiences inside the park, and introduced thousands to the city’s diverse culinary scene. It’s about more than food: St. Louis CITY SC is committed to fueling Downtown’s culture and economy. 
 
“We wanted to elevate the city of St. Louis and show the wonderful things we have to offer,” said Carolyn Kindle, St. Louis CITY SC owner and CEO. “How do we continue to elevate our experience for a fan, but also curate a world-class food program and maybe encourage fans to try restaurants not in their neighborhood? That was the vision.” (Forbes)
