Exciting news for all Detroit City FC fans!
Detroit City FC wants to build a new stadium in Corktown
It looks like Detroit City Football Club’s time at Hamtramck’s Keyworth Stadium could be coming to an end.
The Motor City’s hit soccer team announced Thursday that it has acquired the site of the former Southwest Detroit Hospital at the corner of Michigan Avenue and 20th Street, with plans to build a new soccer-specific stadium to open by the 2027 season.
“This is a huge step for our organization to build a modern venue to serve our club and community,” DCFC CEO Sean Mann said in a statement.
“As longtime residents of the city, with a few of us even living within walking distance of the site, the leaders and founders of the Club view this project not only as an opportunity to grow our organization and sport, but as a civic endeavor to give back to the city we love,” he added. “We look forward to starting a process to connect with our supporters, city residents, and community leaders, among others, to craft a community-focused, grassroots professional soccer stadium that serves the City of Detroit.”
