Austin has made large changes over the years and continues to be a community that can bounce back from anything. Revamping old neighborhoods, keeping with the traditions of the past, and taking in the new technology are constantly making local headlines, but recently residents and sports lovers have turned their attention to the Austin FC.
While the stadium broke ground at McKalla Place in North Austin back in the fall of 2019, the hype and excitement have only risen since then. With a great team of investors, coaches, and directors behind the Austin FC, they’ve met or exceeded their expectations of where they would be at this stage.
The Austin FC ticket sales have surpassed the 40,000 seat goal that was previously set. They have also sold out of all suites, field club, and loge products available for sale. Now there are even plans to break ground on a training ground in June.
With the success that has already been seen, club leaders believe that Austin could be the next hub for Major League Soccer and the next large market in terms of TV ratings for the World Cup, Women’s World Cup, and MLS.
The Austin area is made up of thousands of multicultural, millennial, and tech-savvy residents, which makes up a large portion of the Major League Soccer market. This bodes well for the continued success of the Austin FC, and the design of the stadium was built to draw people off their couches and into the stadium.
With the second-largest roof canopy in MLS, the stadium will provide shade to almost every seat in the stadium, and steps are being taken to optimize the airflow to keep viewers cool even on the hottest of summer days.
The excitement is continuing to mount for Austin’s potential as a Major League Soccer Hub and how it could shape the city in the next decade.
