World Wide Technology Soccer Park

World Wide Technology Soccer Park, formerly known as St. Louis Soccer Park and Anheuser-Busch Center, is a soccer complex which includes four soccer-specific stadiums, with the main field, Toyota Stadium, holding 5,500 seats. Located in Fenton, Missouri, a suburb southwest of downtown St. Louis, it is operated by St. Louis Scott Gallagher Soccer Club whose 275 teams and 3,600 players use it for both practice and games. It is also the home field for Webster University's men's and women's soccer teams as well as Saint Louis FC. The complex has five playing fields—three turf and two grass—and one main exhibition turf field, most of which are lighted. The fields are primarily used for soccer but also host field hockey and lacrosse teams. In addition to the playing surfaces, the complex features offices, home and away locker rooms, a fan shop, a banquet hall, a veranda overlooking the main field, two concession stands, a press box, and a private office.HistoryOpening & Anheuser-BuschThe St. Louis Soccer Park opened in 1982 with funding from Anheuser-Busch who outright purchased it in 1985 and renamed it the Anheuser-Busch Center. During the Anheuser-Busch ownership, the main exhibition field, now known as Toyota Stadium due to sponsorship reasons, was opened and capable of seating 5,500 spectators, for hosting international, collegiate and youth soccer competitions.
