Republic FC’s future home at the Railyards is expanding in an effort to transform and enhance fans’ match-day experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Wilton Rancheria and Republic FC announced Tuesday that the project is adding 8,000 more seats. Originally slated for 12,000 seats, the new stadium will now have a capacity of more than 20,000. <\/p>\n

Officials say the original plan called for phased expansion, but they have now shifted to a more ambitious buildout. <\/p>\n

“A 20,000-seat Republic Stadium \u2014 with a roof over every seat, safe standing for our supporters, and world-class amenities throughout \u2014 is not an overreach. It is exactly the venue Sacramento has earned, and we are proud to deliver it,” said Republic FC Managing Partner Kevin Nagle in a statement.<\/p>\n

While planned as a soccer-first venue, the stadium will also have the ability to expand to a capacity of 27,000 for events like tours, festivals and community events. <\/p>\n

“Building bigger is a catalytic investment in the long-term transformation of downtown Sacramento,” said Chris Franklin, COO for Wilton Rancheria, in a statement.<\/p>\n

Officials also released new renderings of the stadium on Tuesday, showcasing the expanded seating capacity. <\/p>\n

The new stadium’s cost will be around $350 million, but the project is entirely privately funded. <\/p>\n

Groundbreaking took place in August 2025, with construction expected to be complete by 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n
