Downtown Stadium

The Downtown Stadium will be a multi-use facility that can accommodate a variety of sporting and entertainment events. Located at the CityGate property, the Downtown Stadium site is bordered by Cimarron St. to the north, Moreno Ave. to the south, Sierra Madre St. to the west and Sahwatch St. to the east. The strategic downtown location allows for high visibility, access to amenities, and special experiences for participants and spectators. Much of the land is currently vacant and open for development following environmental work related to its long-term use as a steel and iron foundry since the beginning of 1900 until it closed in the early 2000’s. It is also in close proximity to several other sports-related facilities, specifically the new U.S. Olympic Museum, America the Beautiful Park, the administration building for several National Governing Bodies, and the headquarters building for the U.S. Olympic Committee.

The facility will be a mixed-use development featuring a rectangular field of play and serving as the permanent home of the Colorado Springs Switchbacks Football Club (FC) soccer team. It is anticipated to have 8,000 seats, expandable to 15,000 for concerts and other special events. It will encompass an artificial turf field for competition and an approximately 145,500-square-foot stadium overall. Olympic related events, tournaments, and camps will create a synergy between the U.S. Olympic Museum, outdoor stadium, indoor arena, and the U.S. Olympic Training Center that will set Colorado Springs apart nationally as a destination for amateur sporting events.
