SAN JOSE, Calif. - The corner of Coleman Ave. and Newhall Drive has come a long way since the San Jose Earthquakes broke ground on the site of Avaya Stadium on Oct. 21, 2012.
Highlighted by a Guinness World Record groundbreaking ceremony, the Earthquakes’ opening match in 2015 and welcoming in Manchester United for an International Champions Cup contest, the 18,000-seat venue is set to add another notable milestone to its resume. On July 28, Avaya Stadium will host Arsenal FC and the 2016 MLS All-Star Game.
“I think it’s going to be great for the businesses in downtown San Jose,” Earthquakes president Dave Kaval said.
