Centene Stadium’s Iconic ULTRA Club To Be One of Major League Soccer’s Most Unique Experiences
St. Louis’ Major League Soccer team has named America’s leading brewer, Anheuser-Busch, as one of the club’s founding partners, as well as the official beer sponsor of St Louis CITY SC. Together, the partnership will enable Anheuser-Busch to create meaningful connections between its brands and fans on matchday and enhance the in-stadium experience during the club’s historic, inaugural season in 2023 and beyond.
“We’re so excited to announce Anheuser-Busch as our club’s official beer partner,” said St Louis CITY SC’s Chief Revenue Officer Dennis Moore. “Anheuser-Busch has such a long and rich history in St. Louis. This partnership will help enhance the gameday experience for fans, bring an amazing CITY space to life, and support our commitment to environmental sustainability. We are thrilled to be working together.”
“Anheuser-Busch is thrilled to be a part of St. Louis’ newest professional sports team, St Louis CITY SC,” said Matt Davis, Head of Sports Marketing, Anheuser-Busch. “As fan passions and interests shift and our portfolio continues to grow, it’s important to build league, team, and player partnerships that match the evolving landscape. St. Louis is not only an incredible soccer town, but also a very passionate beer city, and we are so excited to be part of the St Louis CITY SC team and their vision for St. Louis.”
As part of the partnership, Anheuser-Busch will have naming rights of the stadium’s south bar – the ULTRA Club. This iconic 14,000 square foot space – which is already sold out for the 2023 season - offers a premium experience on matchday and features floor-to-ceiling windows that serve as the “front porch” of the stadium overlooking Market Street and Downtown West. The ULTRA Club provides incredible 360-degree views of both the city and pitch with 17 fully programmable LED screens on the ceiling. Each game will feature live cooking demonstrations and tasting options by local and visiting chefs and restaurants at the two open kitchens. Additionally, the ULTRA Club aims to become one of the premier special event spaces in downtown St. Louis on non-gamedays for corporate parties, weddings, and other community events beginning in September 2022.
St. Louis CITY SC is intentional about selecting founding partners that are committed to bettering the St. Louis region, with plans to collaborate with Anheuser-Busch to bring their shared commitments to environmental sustainability and St. Louis to life through various initiatives, both in-stadium and within the community.
