From Manjor League Soccer’s Philadelphia Union website…
A state-of-the-art 18,500-seat Major League Soccer stadium will serve as Philadelphia Union’s home. As the catalyst for a spectacular $500 million waterfront revitalization project, the stadium is expected to “KickStart Chester” by bringing renewed life and vitality to a historic location in need of a spark. Public support from the State of Pennsylvania, Delaware County and the City of Chester reinforced private support for the mixed-use development, which is helping to drive a “renaissance on the river” in Chester.
The stadium is ideally located just five miles south of the Philadelphia International Airport, with easy access to major roadways such as I-95, I-476, US-322 and PA-291. Additionally, the Northeast Corridor Amtrak, Conrail and SEPTA rail lines run two train platforms within a short distance from the site.
We here at Soccer Jones, are beyond stoked to see all of these new soccer facilities being built. In 2008, Real Salt Lake’s Rio Tinto Stadium was named a Top 10 Super Stadium In the World by Forbes. Now, with the construction of the upcoming New York Red Bulls and the Philadelphia Union stadiums, soccer in the United States is coming to a whole new level.
