Soccer is the fourth most popular sport in the U.S. and the second-fastest-growing sport in America, according to Nielsen Sports. Major League Soccer (MLS) experienced a 27% rise in interest since 2012. According to a 2018 Gallup poll, 7% of Americans cited soccer as their favorite sport to watch, which falls just 2% behind “America’s Pastime” of baseball.
This surge has spawned a new, world-class MLS training facility on the East Coast. This complex, including the 42,000-square-foot building, will span 68 acres and feature a combination of natural grass surfaces and turf pitch fields. Six professional-grade fields will be situated outside the facility.
