In a historic decision, the Detroit City Council has officially greenlit the construction of AlumniFi Field, a new home for the Detroit City Football Club (DCFC). This transformative project, set to rise on the site of the former Southwest Detroit Hospital, is poised to reshape the landscape of the neighborhood.
The plan includes a state-of-the-art, 15,000-seat stadium, designed to become a central hub for sports and community engagement in the region. Accompanying the stadium will be a 421-space parking deck, ensuring convenient access for fans attending games and events. This initiative represents a significant investment in the area, not only enhancing local infrastructure but also stimulating economic growth.
In addition to the sports facility, the project features a 76-unit apartment building dedicated to affordable housing. This component underscores the City Council’s commitment to addressing housing needs in Southwest Detroit, providing residents with safe and affordable living options in close proximity to the new stadium.
The approval, celebrated by DCFC fans and local leaders alike, marks a new chapter for the club, which has cultivated a passionate following since its inception. “This is more than just a stadium; it’s about community,” commented a DCFC spokesperson. “We are excited to create a space where fans can gather, enjoy the game, and connect with each other.”
With the City Council’s endorsement, preparations for AlumniFi Field are set to begin, promising a vibrant future for both the Detroit City Football Club and the Southwest Detroit community.
