view is looking Northwest from Market & 20th
St Louis has been awarded a Major League Soccer Expansion Team, and the new stadium has a site and plan
Best I can tell, the site is at least partially old ROW for the cancelled MO 755 Freeway
I assume the ramps to/from 64-40 going under Market St to Chestnut St and from Pine St will have to to bye-bye
Anyone have any more info on the plans vs what the Post-Dispatch has reported?
From the article it appears MoDOT still owns some of the land, but there is the structure of a deal to get it to the new franchise owners to build the new stadium
This is highway related, since it is cancelled Freeway ROW

Seems like a good location for a stadium. Pretty close to Downtown. Within a few blocks of Union Station. Near I-64. Available land.
I would imagine if they take out the ramps, they would instead put in a full interchange at jefferson ave (serving all directions with onramps and offramps) to help provide access to the area.

Is anyone else bothered by the scale of the stadium in this image? Comparing the relative scale of the vehicles and lanes of the street on the left end of the image this soccer stadium looks abnormally SMALL. The site footprint looks no bigger than that of an ordinary theater multiplex. Not a facility that can hold tens of thousands of soccer fans.
ilpt4u:
The site is basically 4 City Blocks...bordered by 20th on the East, Market on the South, 22nd St on the West, and Pine St on the North
Busch Stadium is 6 City Blocks (2 N-S, 3 E-W).
Enterprise Center + Parking Garage + Stifel Theatre + St Louis Government building all occupy a 4 City Block area together
Maybe it is not a good rendering...but there is space on this old Freeway ROW
rlb2024:
Also keep in mind that soccer stadiums in the US are not as big as professional football and baseball stadiums. This stadium is planned to seat 22,500, which would be a little above average for MLS. There are very few soccer stadiums in the world that hold over 50,000 (home grounds for Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and AC Milan/Inter Milan are a few that quickly come to mind).
