Missouri History Today October 26, 2003: Record-Breaking Soccer Game Leads UCM’s Jennies To Victory

Sportswriter Matt Crossman was not prepared for the surprising spectacle he encountered on his first visit to watch St. Louis’ professional soccer team, CITY SC, play at CITYPARK. Matt’s first sign it was going to be a different day was the shoes.
