Case Study: St. Louis CITY SC revitalizes downtown with Energizer Park by HOK
A HOK Case Study
St. Louis CITY SC boosts downtown with HOK’s 22,500-seat Energizer Park and $168 million economic impact
St. Louis CITY SC, a Major League Soccer team, sought to build a new stadium that would serve as more than just a venue; it was envisioned as a catalyst for downtown revitalization and a source of civic pride. The team partnered with architecture and design firm HOK to create a multi-use urban campus that would integrate with the city's fabric and reenergize the surrounding district.
HOK designed and engineered the 22,500-seat Energizer Park as an urban infill project on a formerly vacant site. The solution included a permeable stadium design with open concourses, a consolidated team headquarters and training facility, and innovative technology to enhance the fan experience. The project generated over $168 million in economic impact in its inaugural year and has been a hub for investment, drawing nearly $820 million into the district since its announcement. HOK's design successfully created a vibrant, year-round destination that honors the site's history while driving the economic and social vitality of downtown St. Louis.
