Ahead of asking for the Southwest Area Commission’s blessing on a rezoning application, the Haslam Sports Group shared its plans for a National Women’s Soccer League team training facility with The Dispatch.
Columbus’ newest professional sports team is set to begin play in 2028 so the construction timeline is aggressive.
The facility planned for McCoy Park will include two and a half high-tech, heated grass fields; three more soccer fields for academy and community play; and a 45,000 square-foot building.
Phil Dangerfield, senior vice president of operations for the Haslam Sports Group, said the facility is going to be best-in-class and equivalent, or better than the Crew’s facility.
