Goal! It’s official … The StL soon will be home to a history-making Major League Soccer franchise. Local ownership group #MLS4THELOU and MLS commissioner Don Garber (pictured at top) called a huddle Aug. 20 to make the announcement after months of negotiations. It will be the league’s first team to be majority-owned by women—Carolyn Kindle Betz of Enterprise Holdings Foundation, a spokesperson for the St. Louis expansion effort, is one of seven female Taylor family members in the ownership group. A new stadium is planned just west of Union Station and is expected to be designed with maximum field visibility for spectators. Next question: What team name will they choose?
