UNITED SOCCER LEAGUE USL CHAMPIONSHIP
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.
While flooding, which is being caused by recent heavy rains in the St. Louis area, along with rains in other parts of the Midwest, is expected to be minimal, the club decided to postpone the game to ensure the safety of the players, official and fans.
Heavy flooding in the past in the Soccer Park area had caused extensive damage to the stadium and turf field, causing extensive repairs.
A make-up date has not yet been announced, but the club has said that all tickets dated for Saturday will be honored for the new date.
STLFC is currently second in the Eastern Conference of the USL Championship with a record of 5-1-2, for 17 points. The club begins a three-match road swing next Saturday at Charleston Battery in Charleston, S.C., with the kickoff set for 6 p.m. St. Louis time.
