Construction on the West End Stadium is 93% complete.
FC Cincinnati has already sold more than 15,000 season tickets for the upcoming season at their new home. However, COVID-19 is still spreading and while fans will be allowed entry, the West End Stadium will be capped at 30% capacity of the 26,000 available seats.
Team President Jeff Berding said they aren t ready to announce the process to select which season ticket holders will be able to come to games. You have season tickets, you re coming to games, Berding said. Obviously, it may be divided up a little bit, depending on what we re allowed. We can t sit here today and say we know we re going to be selling single game tickets or when. We don t know.
West End stadium s latest milestone features advanced grass playing surface Pat Brennan, Cincinnati Enquirer
The latest milestone for FC Cincinnati s West End stadium is the one that s arguably the most important. Certainly, it s going to get the most airtime on TV during matches.
The club on Wednesday announced the completion of the installation of the grass pitch, which features first-of-its-kind technological advancements for Major League Soccer.
The pitch, which measures 115 yards in length and 75 yards in width, was constructed using a hybrid surface comprised of natural rye grass and synthetic turf. It s the same surface FC Cincinnati uses for the grass surfaces at the Mercy Health Training Center in Milford and is mowed like any other variety of grass.
