St. Louis MLS Expansion Bid Revived, Backed By Enterprise Owners

St. Louis's hopes of landing an MLS expansion team may not be dead after all.

A new bid, headed by the Taylor family, which owns Enterprise Rent-A-Car, has revived the city's chances of securing a team. The Taylors are partnering with Jim Kavanaugh, who is a part owner of the current St. Louis-area USL team and was the vice chairman of the SC STL group whose bid was unsuccessful.

As with most MLS expansion bids, its success is going to be contingent on its stadium plan. The new bid is seeking the same land as the previous, failed bid.
