Supporting Saint Louis FC Against Swope Park Rangers

Early last Saturday night (27 April) was another home match for Saint Louis FC (https://www.saintlouisfc.com/) at Toyota Stadium of World Wide Technology Soccer Park (https://www.saintlouisfc.com/soccerpark). I arrived early as usual for the St. Louligans (http://stlouligans.com/) tailgate in the parking lot. I enjoyed a pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw and Schlafly (http://www.schlafly.com/) Ale d'Or beer on tap from the St. Louligans' trailer.

My high school friends Paul Trelford and Tom Mantych came to the tailgate again to take in the scene and to chat with me before going to their seats for the match.

We St. Louligans marched into the stadium about 30 minutes before kick off and assembled in our usual section. Saint Louis FC was hosting cross-state rivals Swope Park Rangers.

The home side scored late in the first half and early in the second half to take a 2-0 lead. Swope Park pulled one back midway in the second half before Saint Louis added an insurance goal late in the match. Saint Louis FC won 3-1 to stay in first place in the Eastern Conference of the USL Championship (https://www.uslsoccer.com/usl-championship). The players joined us in the corner to serenade us.

I went home happy about another win for my side. Saint Louis FC is back in action this Saturday (4 May), hosting Ottawa Fury FC .

Later.
