With over 104,000 visitors and players annually, the club brings over $3 million to the region in sports tourism. Given the growing ranks of area athletes and youth recreational programs, the MSC recognizes that the region desperately needs additional indoor athletic facilities and has launched a capital campaign to construct a 150,000-square-foot indoor athletic facility on its campus. Construction is slated for fall of 2025 and opening in the 2026 soccer season.
