After several unsuccessful attempts to create a soccer team in St. Louis, a new investor initiative was created in 2018, with financial backing and support from local officials. In August 2019, MLS authorities announced the granting of a license to the future St. Louis-based club starting with the 2023 season. Site preparation began for its new, soccer-specific stadium in February 2020. In February 2022, it was announced that a 15-year sponsorship agreement had been signed with healthcare company Centene Corporation, under which the facility will be named Centene Stadium.

The nearest airport to the CityPark Stadium is St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) which is located about 14 miles northwest of downtown St. Louis. Currently, there are no airlines that fly direct from London to St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) but there are several options which will include a layover.
