The red smoke rises on a new season for St. Louis CITY! We'll talk to Zack of Fleur de Noise to discuss the recent banner controversy as well as preview some new chants in the North End in 2026. Plus, do we have our Joao Klauss replacement? How difficult is St. Louis' early season schedule? What can we expect from Charlotte FC on Saturday? And the boys give us some bold predictions for 2026.
