St. Louis CITY SC is owned by Carolyn Kindle Betz (Enterprise Holdings family). The ownership group has been instrumental in shaping the club's identity and direction since the team's founding. MLS operates under a single-entity structure, meaning the league itself holds the teams' contracts and player rights, but individual ownership groups manage day-to-day operations, stadium deals, and local business development.
Ownership stability is a key factor in MLS franchise success, and St. Louis CITY SC's ownership has invested in both on-field talent and community engagement to grow the club's fanbase in St. Louis.
