Port St. Lucie Sports Club Unveils Ambitious $50‑$80 Million Soccer Stadium Project

The proposed 6,000‑seat venue in the Walton & One area aims to boost the local economy and launch a new professional soccer franchise by early 2028.

Port St. Lucie Sports Club is charting an ambitious $50 million to $80 million soccer stadium that would rise on city‑owned land in the Walton & One district, offering a 6,000‑seat arena for both professional matches and community leagues.

The financing framework hinges on a city commitment to reimburse the club’s owners up to $27.5 million through tax increment financing, a mechanism designed to align the project with broader economic‑development goals.

Groundbreaking is slated for the coming months, with construction targeted for completion in early 2028, when the venue is expected to open its doors to fans.

Season ticket deposits are already being accepted, starting at $180, signaling strong early interest from supporters.

A Vision for Soccer in Port St. Lucie

The club plans to field a team in USL League One, the third tier of the U.S. professional soccer pyramid, adding a new chapter to the city’s sports landscape.

Stakeholders say the project reflects a strategic push to diversify the local economy while providing a platform for emerging talent and fan engagement.

Beyond entertainment, officials project the stadium will generate more than $117 million in employment and capital investment during its first full year of operation, reinforcing the city’s growth agenda.
