Photos: Construction on Major League Soccer stadium in St. Louis
Land preparation work continues on the future site of the Major League Soccer stadium that is being built in St. Louis as seen on Thursday, June 18, 2020. Stadium construction is anticipated to be completed in early 2022. The team is still attempting to finalize negotiations with the owners of a parking lot, pictured in the center of the frame, that is a "crucial piece of land" for the stadium project. If the team and the land owner can't come to terms on a deal to purchase the land it is possible eminent domain will be used to take the land for the project. At this point the future MLS team is still unnamed and there has been no announcement about a possible name for the square shaped stadium.
The project is expected to cost $350-400 million to build the 22,500 seat stadium, practice facilities and team offices. The area for the practice fields can be seen to the right of the photo south of Market Street.
