St. Louis (KSDK) - All dressed up but nowhere to play.

Try outs for the St. Louis lingerie football team are set for Sunday, but we learned Friday the team has no home field.

Negotiations between the Lingerie Football League and the St. Charles County Family Arena fell apart Friday.

St. Charles officials say, it's not because of the scantily dressed women but because the league refused to guarantee dates and money.

The chairman of the LFL told the I-Team's Leisa Zigman St. Charles was never Plan A and the league is talking with other area venues.

In the meantime, tryouts for the St. Louis Saints will be Sunday at the Vetta Soccerdome.

Mitchell Mortaza, chairman of the LFL, released the following statement:
"Family Arena was never Plan A. Our arenas and stadiums around the country are all top-tier NBA/NHL/NFL type facilities run by sophisticated groups, Family Arena did not meet either of those requirements. We cannot comment on current discussions with several other venues until we have a signed agreement. The LFL's building momentum and track record in terms of revenues and attendance at our major buildings around the country speaks for itself."
