Alcohol management and responsible service training at Energizer Park is conducted in partnership with TEAM Coalition to certify staff in ID verification, responsible consumption, and intervention for impaired or underage guests.
St. Louis CITY SC and Energizer Park strongly encourage responsible consumption of alcoholic beverages. Staff are trained to deny service to intoxicated individuals, and guests showing signs of impairment are denied entry or removed. While a specific Designated Driver pledge program is not prominently detailed in current resources, the venue aligns with MLS/TEAM Coalition standards for fan safety, responsible behavior, and non-alcoholic options. Alcohol must be consumed responsibly and only by those 21+.
Energizer Park, St. Louis CITY SC, and Major League Soccer are committed to creating a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable match-day experience for all fans, while fostering an inclusive environment free of discrimination and harassment.
