St. Louis is a great sports city in the United States, and for good reason. From the iconic Cardinals baseball to the beloved Blues hockey team, this city offers something for sports fans to cheer for all year round. It is home to a variety of teams, both professional and university, and has a wide range of sports, including corkball, which was invented in St.
Louis. The city is home to the St. Louis Cardinals, one of the oldest franchises in Major League Baseball (MLB). The Cardinals have won 11 World Series titles, second only to the 27 of the New York Yankees.
They play at the 10,600-seat Chaifetz Arena. The Saint Louis Billikens from Saint Louis University compete at the Atlantic 10 conference in a variety of men's and women's sports, but basketball teams are arguably the most popular. The Billikens have become a regular at the NCAA tournament and have won the Cup in 1927. St. Louis also has a long history in football and has contributed at least one participant to every FIFA World Cup played by the United States men's national team.
Unfortunately, St. Louis is not home to any Major League Soccer franchise. However, St. Louis CITY SC is Major League Soccer's first majority-owned female club; its main jersey sponsor, Purina, is also led by a woman, President and CEO Nina Leigh Krueger. In December 1933, rumors surfaced that the Senators would merge with the equally disadvantaged Americans in New York. Nevertheless, St.
Louis has been recognized as one of the centers of American soccer and one with the richest soccer history in the country. All in all, St. Louis is an amazing city for sports fans with plenty of teams to cheer for all year round.
