Read Phoenix Rising’s full announcement here. Phoenix is one of 11 cities competing for three MLS expansion slots, which are scheduled to be announced later this year. Populous has designed seven MLS stadiums, and more than 70 soccer stadiums globally, including 14 national stadiums such as Wembley Stadium in London. “From the four unique seating sections to diverse social spaces, this stadium will be the new standard for soccer in the southwest.” That year, Phoenix Rising signed an agreement with Goldman Sachs to help the funding of a new 20,000 person stadium on land purchased from the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian. “We want Phoenix Rising fans to have a game day experience that is second-to-none, so comfort and first-class amenities are top priorities,” said Scott Capstack, principal at Populous. The bid for expansion is led by the ownership group of Phoenix Rising FC of the United Soccer League including former Chelsea and Phoenix Rising FC player Didier Drogba. Expansive, breathable canopies will cover the bowl, concourse and area surrounding the stadium to maximize player and fan comfort while amplifying the energy and excitement within the stadium. Stadium entrances are strategically shaped to maximize airflow, featuring water walls to cool patrons as they enter. The asymmetrical design places the majority of seats on the west side, providing ample shade for spectators. “We are excited for the fans to see the innovative, one-of-a-kind design with special attention paid to maximizing shade and airflow in the stadium to ensure player and fan comfort.” “The renderings really bring the stadium to life,” said Brett Johnson, co-chairman for Phoenix Rising FC. With approximately 21,000 seats and a 360-degree concourse, Phoenix Rising fans will not miss a minute of the on-field action. Designed by Populous and Gould Evans, the stadium was developed in anticipation of the announcement of the MLS expansion teams and takes inspiration from the intimacy and energy of European soccer stadiums. Phoenix Rising Football Club released renderings of its proposed Major League Soccer (MLS) stadium today.
