Overview

• A Sunday match against the Orlando Pride at Martin Stadium, billed as the Lakefront Faceoff, will serve as a trial run for operations before next season.
• Team leadership cited difficult travel to SeatGeek Stadium and consistently low attendance as reasons for the move, with the current lease expiring this year.
• Martin Stadium seats roughly 12,000, sits on Northwestern’s lakefront campus, and uses artificial turf rather than natural grass.
• Officials said the team will continue training at SeatGeek for the foreseeable future while pursuing a dedicated training facility and a long-term stadium solution.
• Existing season-ticket holders will receive priority seating options at the new venue, with ticket information provided by the club.
