Real Salt Lake To Unveil Plans For $50M Training Complex Set To Open In August '17

Real Salt Lake officials this weekend "are set to announce plans" for a $50M soccer complex in Herriman, Utah, to "house everything from the club's training activities to a charter high school for youth players," according to Aaron Falk of the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE. The site will include "eight different soccer fields" for the MLS club, its USL Real Monarchs affiliate and the club's U-16 and U-18 teams. The new facility also will "house some of the club's youth training activities" and "will be home to about 50 full-time staffers." Groundbreaking "is expected to happen in late April" with expected opening date of August '17. The site is "expected to be fully operational in time" for the '18 MLS season. Meanwhile, RSL Owner Dell Loy Hansen has also "planned to build regional training centers across Utah," with the facilities valued at $2M a piece (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 4/7).
