St. Louis in the hunt for MLS franchise

St. Louis is back in the hunt for a Major League Soccer expansion franchise after the family behind rental car company Enterprise Holdings announced a bid that calls for a new stadium built mostly with private funding. Members of the Taylor family said Tuesday the franchise would be majority owned by women, a first in MLS and a rarity in professional sports. St. Louis hopes to become a three-sport town for the first time since the NFL’s Rams left for Los Angeles in 2016. The Taylors are seeking tax breaks, but no other public funding for a downtown stadium. Enterprise, founded by Jack Taylor, is listed by Forbes as one of the largest private U.S. companies.
