Soccer-specific stadium could be part of Tacoma USL-Pro franchise, Rainiers owner says - Sounder At Heart

Soccer-specific stadium could be part of Tacoma USL-Pro franchise, Rainiers owner says - Sounder At Heart: Putting a USL-Pro franchise in Tacoma makes sense from so many levels for the Seattle Sounders. The biggest hangup, it seems, is having an appropriate place to play. Although Sunday's Reserve League match against Orlando City will be played at the Tacoma Rainiers' Cheney Stadium, there are obvious concerns about how that might work in the long term.

Now comes word directly from Rainiers ownership that, if all goes well, they'd at least be willing to explore the possibility of building a soccer-specific stadium with the idea of housing a Sounders-affiliated team.
