A resolution supporting the construction of a Tacoma soccer stadium was passed unanimously on Tuesday night by the Tacoma City Council.
The stadium would serve as home for the top developmental team for the Seattle Sounders. Sounders FC 2 will play home matches at Cheney Stadium starting in March, 2018. Team officials hope to have the new stadium ready for the 2020 United Soccer League season.
“Lots of work still to do with our partners at Metro Parks, the city, and Sounders FC, but this is a meaningful step,” Tacoma Rainiers President Aaron Artman said of the council’s vote.
