Two blocks away from the Golden 1 Center steel is going up at the
Railyards. When the construction is complete in 2027, Sacramento
will have a privately funded, MLS caliber, 12,000-20,000 seat
soccer palace. The table is set—all that’s missing is MLS.
The MLS has just welcomed its 30th team, San Diego FC, for a $500
million expansion fee. The league has publicly stated that it’s
pausing expansion for now. However, that pause could end the
moment someone writes a check.
And it’s a no-brainer that Sacramento should be first in line.
