“The new vision for the 12,000-15,000 seat venue will initially be used as a USL-based stadium, but it could expand to 20,000 seats as needed, if Major League Soccer comes calling or if any FIFA requirements are imposed upon them. The new stadium design comes from the architectural firm, Manica, which has developed projects like Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the Chase Center in San Francisco and even, Wembley Stadium in London. The concept can be constructed on an accelerated timeline.”
“The plans are to host not only just soccer events but Division 1 football, lacrosse, rugby, concerts, high school and college graduations, and any other community events.A release from Sacramento Republic FC said the stadium is a nearly $1 billion investment, which includes bringing in new housing and mixed-use developments. The project is almost entirely privately funded by Republic FC Chairman and CEO Kevin Nagle, and other investors.”
“We want to build a world-class soccer stadium in The Railyards, and to begin the next decade of Republic FC,” Nagle said in a release. “We’re ready with a new vision that allows us to take our destiny into our own hands, and to create a community asset that will grow with the team and city.”
