Attorneys for a Major League Soccer ownership group appear closely involved with St. Louis’ potential purchase of a downtown stadium site, public records released Monday show.

The city’s Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority has said the site could host a soccer stadium, but soccer was not the only consideration in pursuing a purchase option for 30 acres north of Highway 40 (Interstate 64) near 22nd Street. However, the role of an MLS ownership group’s attorneys raises questions about the process.
