Overview

  • The stadium will be entirely privately financed by owner Joe Mansueto without any public funding requests.
  • The 22,000-seat venue breaks down into roughly 5,000 premium seats, 17,000 general admission spots and a purpose-built 2,000-capacity supporter section.
  • Gensler’s Chicago School-inspired design features a brick, glass and steel façade, an open-air bowl canopy and a natural grass playing surface.
  • As the anchor of Related Midwest’s 62-acre The78 development, the site will include new homes, dining, shopping, affordable housing and a half-mile riverwalk.
  • Public plazas, riverfront views, an LED videoboard and hospitality offerings—50 suites, over 500 Loge seats and field-level club amenities—will round out the matchday experience.
