Detroit City Football Club Community Benefits Ordinance Project
- CBO Neighborhood Advisory Council 101 Training - Wednesday, August 20 (details below)
- CBO Meetings - Begin on Thursday, August 21 (details below)
Detroit City Football Club (“DCFC”) proposes plans for a signature, 11-acre development headlined by a 15,000-capacity soccer specific stadium, with a planned opening in 2027.
The stadium will derive additional revenue from concerts, year-round commercial space lining 20th street and hosting other collegiate and professional athletic events. Unique among major stadiums, the $150 million new home for DCFC will be privately financed and is to be owned and operated by the team. Public support for the project is requested in the form of a Brownfield reimbursement agreement as well as other City and State support for infrastructure and programmatic build out.
The Developer is seeking governmental approvals and to commence vertical construction between the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. Please attend the community benefits ordinance meetings, which begin August 21.

In advance of the forthcoming Community Benefits Ordinance process for the Detroit City Football Club project, the City of Detroit Planning & Development Department is hosting a Neighborhood Advisory Councils 101 training in partnership with our office.
The training is open to everyone, but especially those who reside in the project impact area (see below) so that they can feel more prepared and confident with regards to expectations and responsibilities.
