All that being said, I’m not giving them too much credit as a fanbase yet because MLS always has a “hot new club”. SKC was effectively this for a few seasons after the rebrand and opening of Sporting Park. Hell, I remember when Toronto was the Class of MLS or whatever. But it doesn't last. Give them a few bad years and the shine wears off, MLS media moves on to the new expansion etc.

St Louis has one of if not the best soccer cultures in the US. They will always be a centerpiece for the MLS.
