Stadium

Owner Mark Hall has stated in the past he wanted the club to play in Concord instead of Oakland.[3] The club intends to pursue the development of a 15,000+ seat soccer-specific stadium complex to house the new club.[4] In May 2020, Mark Hall halted plans for the Concord Stadium due to economic downturn and partly because the city wanted only a 5,000-6,000 seated modular stadium.[5]
