Circuit Of The Americas To House USL Austin Aztex Starting In '19

USL officials announced that a team in Austin will play its home matches at Circuit of the Americas starting in '19. COTA Chair Bobby Epstein has purchased a majority stake in the Austin Aztex, and the team will compete at a small portable stadium at the F1 track using the same grandstands used for race events. The Aztex have not played since '15 after flooding severely damaged their old high school venue. This will mark the first time a pro soccer team in North America has played at a major motorsports facility for its home games, according to team officials.
