This new stadium is set to become the home ground for the forthcoming “Port St. Lucie Sports Club.” The club is a new entity that will compete in the United Soccer League (USL). According to the plan, the team is scheduled to commence its inaugural season in March 2027. The approval by the City Council signifies the green light for the project to move forward with its development phases.
