SAINT LOUIS FC MATCH VS. OTTAWA POSTPONED DUE TO FLOOD CONCERNS: Saint Louis FC announced today that Saturday’s match against Ottawa Fury FC at Toyota Stadium at World Wide Technologies Soccer Park has been postponed, due to flooding concerns along the Meremac River in Fenton, Mo., where the park is located.
