Sacramento Republic FC unveiled a new rendering of its planned stadium in the Railyards, providing a new perspective from the southwest entrance and concourse. The new feature, created by MANICA Architecture, was not included in previous renderings, a club spokesperson explained.
The club announced Tuesday, February 18 that it is making “significant progress” toward opening the stadium in 2027. Groundbreaking will take place later this year.
The long-awaited stadium project gained momentum when Wilton Rancheria became Sacramento Republic FC’s majority owner and pledged Railyards investment, leading to unanimous financial approval from the Sacramento City Council in November. The entire project will cover 31 acres, with total costs for the stadium, a new entertainment venue, and supporting infrastructure at $321 million.
The 12,000-seat stadium is expected to be completed by 2027 under the initial term sheet. Republic FC has partnered with global firm Elevate to conduct a fan survey in a bid to ensure the venue represents the identity of the region and works for the fans and community and will also conduct a community focus group.
Our supporters have created an amazing environment in our current stadium, and it is a wonderful venue to play,” Republic FC President and General Manager Todd Dunivant stated. “Through this survey and other opportunities for input, they will help bring that same energy and excitement to our new downtown stadium.
The 15-minute survey will remain open until the end of February, with supporters able to provide feedback on seating, food and drink provision, hospitality packages, and travel to and from the stadium.
