Plans to build an indoor sports and entertainment arena with nearly 8,000 seats at Oceanside’s sprawling El Corazon Park got a thumbs-up from a key oversight committee last week.
The El Corazon Standing Committee agreed unanimously to forward plans for the 171,291-square-foot Arena Calfino, possibly the future home of the San Diego Sockers professional soccer team, to the city’s Planning Commission for approval.
The multipurpose building would have room to seat up to 6,367 people for sporting events and as many as 7,992 seats for concerts. The arena would be on a 5.24-acre parcel, with 618 parking spaces on a separate 7.2-acre parcel.
