Professional soccer

prepares to take the field at Walton & One

Port St. Lucie is ready to score big with the arrival of a professional soccer team and stadium, coming soon to Walton & One.
The new stadium will be home to the Port St. Lucie Sports Club, which will play in the United Soccer League( USL). The team will bring highenergy matches and family-friendly fun right to the heart of our City.
But the impact goes far beyond the field. The stadium is a first step toward creating a vibrant destination where people can live, work and play.
Plans for Walton & One around the stadium include new restaurants, shops, entertainment venues and housing options, all designed to create a walkable, welcoming community space. The stadium will be a critical component in transforming Walton & One into a true city center.
The stadium is being built without using taxpayer dollars. The entire project is privately funded by the developer and team ownership, making it a smart investment in Port St. Lucie’ s future.
With soccer at its heart, this project is helping shape a more vibrant, connected and exciting future for our City.
