The $132 million minor league soccerstadium in Pawtucket, R.I., is set to become the first 100% electric soccer-specific venue in the United States when it hosts its inaugural match for Rhode Island FC on May 3. Developed by Fortuitous Partners, the stadium is a centerpiece of the larger $344 million Tidewater Landing mixed-use complex but faced significant funding issues and construction delays due to inflation and weathering a temporary funding freeze. The project, which integrates sustainable features such as brownfield site remediation and onsite electric vehicle charging, has overcome various construction challenges associated with its location on contaminated land. Despite initial cost estimates pegged at $59 million in 2022, financial support from state and federal sources, coupled with substantial private investment, has enabled progress, with hopes for substantial completion in time for the 2025 soccer season. The development team is optimistically working toward a successful home opener, emphasizing the project’s commitment to sustainability and community revitalization.
