JULY 20: SOCCER: EVERYONE’S GAME

St. Louis has been a soccer town since the 1870s and has gone on to make its mark on the sport ever since, producing 90 national champions, 77 players on the U.S. National Team, and 34 members of US national soccer halls of fame. Join David Lange, author of Soccer Made in St. Louis: A History of the Game in America’s First Soccer Capital, the acclaimed 2011 book that was recently updated to include the story of the successful drive to bring a Major League Soccer franchise to St. Louis.

After Lange’s presentation, a panel of veteran players from St. Louis will share stories about their experiences on and off the field. We’ll also hear briefly from Jim Leeker, President of the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame, and Bill “Mr. Soccer” McDermott.

This Missouri History Museum program is associated with Soccer City, presented by Bank of America.
