Roof Added to Design
A full-roof structure will cover every seat—one of the project’s most notable upgrades.
The move responds directly to fan demand and comfort expectations.
Fan Experience Enhanced
The venue will feature over 20 seating options.
Safe-standing areas, a supporters’ plaza, and premium hospitality spaces are all included.
Timeline Extended to 2028
Construction is now expected to run through 2027.
The stadium is set to open in 2028, extending the club’s stay at Heart Health Park.
Costs Double to $350M
The project budget has surged from $175 million to around $350 million.
Expanded scope and added infrastructure are driving the increase.
Backed by Tribal Ownership
The project is led by the Wilton Rancheria, the club’s majority owner.
The development is positioned as both a sporting and cultural landmark.
Anchoring Urban Development
The stadium will serve as the centerpiece of a multi-billion-dollar district.
Plans include retail, housing, hotels, and community spaces in downtown Sacramento.
