RSL aiming to build $45-50 million local academy, training facility

Real Salt Lake is set to build an 42-acre academy and training facility in Herriman, Utah, that could cost an estimated $45 to $50 million.

In a Feb. 4 Herriman City Planning Commission meeting, Real Salt Lake's Vice President of Stadium Operations, Craig Martin, described the proposed 42-acre facility as the potential "base of operations" for Real Salt Lake and Real Monarchs, in addition to the academy.

The facility would include eight fields, including four natural grass fields for the Real Salt Lake academy.

The facility, which seems to be titled "Real Salt Lake Training Academy," would serve as home to an charter school that includes boarding for RSL academy U-18 and U-16 teams.
