City SC kicked off their 2024 season with a hard-fought 1-1 tie with Real Salt Lake — and for fans at Citypark, the come-from-behind draw was only part of the fun. The MLS team's block party also brought rapper Smino to Lou Fusz Plaza, along with Budweiser's famous Clydesdales and a host of revelers from across the metro.
No, it wasn't warm — it was just 44 degrees at kickoff and got colder from there — but there was enough excitement to keep people on their feet and cheering for St. Louis' newest professional sports franchise in the kickoff to its second year.
The RFT's Zachary Linhares was there to capture all the excitement. Scroll down for the highlights.
