Salt Lake City saw a growing need for more soccer fields as the sport increased in popularity along the Wasatch Front. They wanted to address this by providing a 180-acre regional soccer complex with 18 multi-use soccer fields, as well as softball and baseball fields, to serve as a "home field" for local teams that previously had to travel long distances for tournaments. The complex is environmentally friendly with recirculating ponds to handle stormwater and 40 acres set aside as natural habitat.

There is a growing need for soccer fields as soccer becomes more and
more popular along the Wasatch Front. Many local super league teams
travel great distances to participate in regional tournaments. Salt Lake
City wanted to address this need by providing a regional tournament-
quality soccer complex to the community that could be used as a
“home field” for local teams. MGB+A provided a multidisciplinary
team to first study the site and mitigate existing poorly functioning
wetlands to provide 18 multi use soccer fields with four softball and
four baseball fields to follow. The site is environmentally friendly
providing recirculating irrigation ponds that accept all storm water
runoff from athletic fields and parking lots. The project also contains
40 acres of dedicated natural habitat improved for migratory birds and
other species.
