A study conducted by Convention, Sports & Leisure and Legends and released last week by Louisville Forward suggests that a soccer-specific stadium is needed to maintain and grow professional soccer in Louisville.

Louisville City Football Club (LCFC) currently is part of the USL.

The final decision to build a soccer-specific stadium will require much more dialogue and public discussion with partners such as Louisville Metro Council, LCFC and citizens.

Recommendations presented in the study are the first step in the decision-making process and will be used to make an informed decision on whether to pursue the construction of a soccer-specific stadium. 

Soccer-specific venues in markets similar to Louisville that were assessed during the study include Toyota Field in San Antonio, Texas; Highmark Stadium in Pittsburgh, Penn.; RGVFC Stadium in Edinburg, Texas; Bonney Field in Sacramento, Calif.; Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y.; and, WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C.
