The Anheuser-Busch Center, also known as Soccer Park, is located in Fenton, Missouri, a suburb southwest of downtown St. Louis. Opening in 1982 as the St. Louis Soccer Park, the Anheuser-Busch Center (renamed in 1996) has been the home to regional sporting events at the youth, collegiate and professional levels. The complex has six playing fields that are used for soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, and a variety of other sports. The main exhibition field is capable of seating 6,000 spectators.^[1]

Anheuser Busch Center hosting an WPS Match

In March of 2009, Anheuser-Busch wrote a letter of intent to transfer ownership of Soccer Park to Jeff Cooper and his organization St. Louis Soccer United (SLSU) in order to strengthen SLSU's bid for an MLS expansion team. While the MLS bid failed, SLSU announced in May that Saint Louis Athletica, the WPS team also run by SLSU, would play the rest of their home games at Soccer Park, having previously played at Ralph Korte Stadium on the campus of SIUE.^[2]
