Kansas City NWSL will build the first soccer stadium purpose-built for an NWSL team, the club announced Tuesday.
While final designs are still in development, the estimated $70 million project will be entirely privately funded through the ownership group and will be located near the east end of the Berkley Riverfront in Kansas City, near the Missouri River.
It is expected to seat 11,000 fans and open in 2024.
“From the beginning, our vision has been to create a player-first experience, and facilities for our team that match not only the elite level of these incredible athletes, but also the passionate support of the Kansas City metro and our fans,” KC NWSL co-founder and co-owner Chris Long said in a statement.
