Riverside City Council in California has voted unanimously to enter into an exclusive negotiating agreement with GCS Development to transform 56 acres of city-owned land in the Northside neighborhood into the Riverside Sports Complex & Entertainment District.
The master plan includes a professional, multi-use stadium, six soccer fields and an indoor sports and game complex as part of the first phase. The future phase is planned to include housing and retail and community spaces.
“This project provides recreational opportunities that Riverside and our greater region have never had,” Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson said. “It will create a dynamic destination that will energize our local economy and make Riverside the premiere hub for sports and entertainment.”
The site formerly housed the Ab Brown Sports Complex, an 18-field soccer facility that was home to the American Youth Soccer Organization Region 47 from 1985 to 2018. The site has been vacant since 2018.
