The Cal State University Board of Trustees on Wednesday approved an ambitious plan for the construction of a state-of-the-art soccer facility at Cal State L.A. that will become the headquarters and training home for the fledgling Los Angeles Football Club, which will join MLS next season.
LAFC will spend $30 million to renovate Cal State L.A.’s stadium field and construct a training facility that will serve as home to the club’s MLS players, staff, coaches and youth development teams.
The facility will be designed by Gensler Sports, the same firm that handled the plans for Banc of California Stadium at Exposition Park, where the team will begin play next summer.
