Another Redbird Lands in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS COUNTY – Cardinal fans might have their feathers ruffled a bit this summer, but it’s all in fun. The iconic redbird that is also the namesake of our beloved baseball team has some competition, and Great Rivers Greenway wants the St. Louis region to get to know this alternative feathered friend. The Summer Tanager - sometimes all red, sometimes all yellow, and sometimes a mix of the two colors - is the bird species you’ll see in this year’s Greenway Quest, the annual hunt for hand-painted rocks hidden along the 135 miles of greenways in St. Louis, St. Louis County, and St. Charles County.

Stuttgart Surge pull out close road win over Raiders to stay unbeaten
What a game! Two words describe it: ABSOLUTE CHAOS. The Stuttgart Surge outlasted Raiders Tirol in a 30-25 game filled with high drama, multiple lead changes, and at times, very ugly play. For a minute, it looked like the Surge were going to pull away from Tirol, but turnovers and soft defensive coverage made this game a nail-biter. With this victory, Stuttgart moves to 6-0, while the Raiders, who have been fighting desperately to keep themselves in the playoff picture, are now 5-3, only one game ahead of Berlin. The ELF playoff structure is not too different then the college football playoffs.
