(AsiaGameHub) – Reno Pro Soccer—an organization working to bring back USL Professional Soccer to Northern Nevada—has announced it has reached a “major milestone” in its efforts. Per the group’s latest update, it has submitted “key project entitlements” for its planned soccer stadium and entertainment district.
Reno Pro Soccer’s Plan to Bring Soccer and Entertainment
Reno Pro Soccer stressed that its longstanding vision is to create a new complex serving as a year-round destination for soccer and entertainment. The plans thus outline the construction of a stadium and entertainment district that would “reflect Reno’s energy, pride, and growth.”
The first phase of Reno Pro Soccer’s plans will transform the Jones West Ford site—currently a vacant parcel—into what the group calls a “vibrant hub for community, sport, economic activity, and regional attraction.”
The initial phase of the project will also include a casino.
Beyond cementing Reno as a sports and tourism destination, the development is expected to have a positive economic impact on the area. According to Reno Pro Soccer, the new complex will create many jobs while delivering significant revenue to local tax coffers.
Details of Phase 1
Reno Pro Soccer listed the key highlights of Phase 1 for the Jones West Ford site, including Nevada’s only soccer-specific stadium. The planned stadium will have over 6,000 seats and feature premium suites and club seating.
The project will also bring men’s professional soccer to the city, allowing it to compete in the USL Championship.
Additionally, the entertainment district will be a walkable space with bars, restaurants, multiple shops, a family-focused entertainment venue, and community areas for events and gatherings. It will also include a 301-room hotel to accommodate visitors year-round, plus a 1,200-space parking lot to facilitate access.
As mentioned, the district will house a casino operated by Dean DiLullo, offering extra entertainment options for both tourists and locals.
Reno Pro Soccer predicts the project will create up to 1,100+ jobs.
Thrilling Times for Reno Soccer Fans
Reno Pro Soccer’s ambitious project is currently awaiting final regulatory approvals. If greenlit, construction will kick off soon. The group noted that demolition work on the site is ongoing.
In the meantime, Reno Pro Soccer promised to continue engaging the community through events, surveys, and various activations. Fans can look forward to FIFA World Cup watch parties, as well as the upcoming reveal of Reno’s USL Championship club’s name, crest, and identity.
