Great Park Championship Soccer Stadium Expansion
The Great Park Championship Soccer Stadium has been home to the Orange County Soccer Club (OCSC) since 2017, which the club leases from the City of Irvine.
Each year, attendance at the OCSC matches has grown. In fact, most of the matches were sold out last year. To accommodate the club's growing fan base, the City approved plans to expand the stadium's capacity. Construction should be completed in time for the OCSC home opener on March 7th.
The project — which is being fully funded by OCSC at no cost to the City — will include a new private group seating area for corporate outings and community events, new reserved seating behind the goal, and additional seating near the scoreboard.
