A stadium for USL Championship club Sacramento Republic FC in Sacramento’s Railyards development is now “underway” after city officials, team execs and members of Wilton Rancheria, the tribe that owns the team, held “an official groundbreaking” Monday at the project site. After the event, Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty said to “expect an announcement soon about work on a planned event venue in one of the historic Railyards buildings.” He also said the city and master project developer Downtown Railyard Venture LLC “will try again on creating an enhanced infrastructure financing district for the western part of the Railyards.” The $175M stadium is “set to be built in about 18 months, opening for the team’s 2027 season” (SACRAMENTO BUSINESS JOURNAL, 8/18).
