The City of Fresno is considering building a soccer stadium in Chinatown.
The city announced it has entered into an exclusivity period with the United Soccer League (USL) to explore bringing men’s and women’s professional soccer to the Central Valley.
During the exclusivity period, the city and USL will evaluate the viability of supporting professional soccer teams and expanding community entertainment options.
This initial phase will consider several key factors, including identifying a suitable stadium solution for the potential teams, evaluating funding models, and securing an ownership group.
“Fresno is ready for a partnership with a top-notch league that would not only bring a professional soccer team to Fresno but, also a stadium,” said Mayor Jerry Dyer. “Since coming into office, I have heard from numerous people who would love to have a professional soccer team locally. Our city is home to a huge fan base, with sold-out soccer games and an unmatched energy that is felt throughout. We are excited to be one step closer to making this a reality.”
One location for a stadium is in Chinatown.
Do you agree Chinatown is a good location, or do you think another location would be better?
