Phoenix Rising FC ( USLC) (2017–2020) |
Casino Arizona Field, formerly known as Phoenix Rising Soccer Complex, was a 15.8-acre soccer-specific training and stadium facility located in the Salt River Pima–Maricopa Indian Community near Tempe, Arizona. [1] [2] It was the home of Phoenix Rising FC of the USL Championship from 2017-2020. The complex had a 6,200-seat modular stadium with luxury suites, separate training field, and parking area and was privately funded. [3] [4] [5]
The first game at the complex was held on March 25, 2017, when Rising FC hosted Toronto FC II in front of a crowd of 6,890 fans. [6] They won their first game at the stadium on April 8 by defeating LA Galaxy II 2–1. Luke Rooney scored both goals, the first one on a penalty kick. They were the first goals scored by the team in their new stadium. [7]
On March 15, 2019, Casino Arizona signed a multi-year sponsorship deal with Rising FC, including naming rights to the stadium, now called Casino Arizona Field. [8] [9]
On December 10, 2020, Phoenix Rising FC announced that a new, expanded stadium would be built in the Gila River Indian Community near Chandler, Arizona. The luxury boxes and some of the stands were moved to the new site. [10] The main and practice pitches were left intact and will be utilized by the Phoenix Rising Youth Academy. [11]
