ST. LOUIS — Expectations. How much do they really matter?
It has been a long time coming for this community, and the energy reflected that all weekend. As soon as you hop off a plane at St. Louis Lambert International Airport, the City SC banners greet you. Conversations at restaurants, on the train, at bars found ways to mention the anticipated event happening downtown.
The day, and weekend, encompassed that growth perfectly. Throughout 'The Lou' you’d be hard-pressed to find someone not in City gear. The appreciation for a team that had just played one official game so far was palpable. But a lot of these supporters have been here for years through the different tiers of soccer ranks that have led to St. Louis finally getting a MLS team.
The homecoming wasn’t going to be ruined by Enzo Copetti’s 25th minute goal or his taunting the fans. City persisted on the field and was not only rewarded for it, but took over and made a statement. This isn’t a fluke. “I think it’s going to be just as big, if not bigger. It has the potential to be bigger than the Blues and Cardinals combined,” said fan Danny Hays, who was at the game with his 3- and 6-year-old sons. “We’ve wanted a soccer team for a long time. Being able to have it here at this level is a game-changer for St. Louis.”
