Saint Louis FC Home Opener Announced
Saint Louis FC will open their 2015 inaugural season on the road at Louisville City on March 28. Saint Louis FC and Louisville City are two of 13 new franchises joining USL PRO in 2015. Both teams are members of the newly-announced Eastern Conference in USL PRO.
The team will host their inaugural home opener on April 11 against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. Pittsburgh finished 11th in last season’s league table with 32 points. The Riverhounds have been a member of USL PRO since 2011, making a pair of playoff appearances.
USL PRO announced the home opener for every team in the league yesterday. The entire regular season schedule will be released on Monday, February 2.
“Our home opener should be a special night at the Soccer Park,” General Manager Jeremy Alumbaugh said. “Pittsburgh is a team that had a tough season last year, but was in the playoffs in 2013. (Head Coach) Mark Steffens has a great history, taking the Charlotte Eagles to the league final in 2013.”
Kickoff for the home opener on April 11 is scheduled for 7:30 PM at the St. Louis Soccer Park, where all home matches will take place this season. For tickets, email [email protected].
