News of the Tacoma soccer stadium’s demise may have been a bit premature, at least according to Rainiers President Aaron Artman. While short-term plans are extremely muddled, Artman recently suggested to the Seattle Times that they are still hoping to get the stadium built.
“It’s back to dream-big mode,” Artman said.
If the Seattle Sounders and Rainiers manage to pull that off, it would be a remarkable end to a journey that has had many ups and downs.
When the Sounders first announced plans to move their minor-league affiliate to Tacoma in 2018, it was with the belief that a soccer-specific stadium would be ready in time for the 2020 season.
