![Watching a small group scrimmage, Ben Lundt, St. Louis City SC goalkeeper and founder of Lundt Pro Soccer Training, shouts words of encouragement to players on Sunday, April 26 n the Lafayette grass soccer field. “The idea behind [the event] was to bring the professional soccer players closer to the community because usually people only get to see us on TV or in the stadium. [Families] actually having the opportunity to have their kids on the field with us is the most important aspect,” Ben Lundt said.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_6823-1200x800.jpg)

Out and About: Ballwin Texas Roadhouse
A new Texas Roadhouse is slated to be built in Ballwin, MO following the closing and demolition of Señor Pique’s. There are already four Texas Roadhouse’s in the St. Louis area located in: Kirkwood, St. Charles, Arnold and O’Fallon. However, none of the locations are very close to the Lafayette area.
According to their website, Texas Roadhouse is known for their “Hand-Cut Steaks, Fall-Off-The-Bone Ribs, Made-From-Scratch Sides, and Fresh-Baked Bread.”
“I like Texas Roadhouse because the food is awesome and you can even eat peanuts and throw them on the floor,” junior Jacob Krieger said. “Whenever I go there, I usually get the steak because it is phenomenal.”
Krieger anticipates the opening of the new location.
“My family usually goes there for special occasions such as birthdays, but hopefully we’ll go more now that there will be one closer,” Krieger said.
As of now, there is no date for when construction is expected to be completed.
