Construction Begins on National Women's Soccer League Training Facility
AMB Sports and Entertainment owner and chairman Arthur M. Blank, National Women’s Soccer League Commissioner Jessica Berman and Marietta Mayor Steve Tumlin were among the dignitaries present for the ceremonial groundbreaking, kicking off construction for the NWSL training ground in Marietta on Friday.
The 38,000-square-foot NWSL Atlanta 2028 Training Ground facility will include four fields and two half-pitches for training. The site on Franklin Gateway SE is across from the Franklin Gateway Sports Complex.
The property was previously owned by the city of Marietta. As Channel 2 Action News reported in March, the city council voted unanimously to accept a deal from AMBSE for the property. The city will get in return 10 acres of undeveloped land that AMBSE already owns in the area.

Rochester, Minn., to Receive Proposals for $55M Indoor Athletics Facility
The Rochester City Council will receive a presentation next week concerning proposals to expand the existing Regional Sports Center at the Rochester Community and Technical College campus.
The discussions stem from a decision to move forward with the development of the new Regional Sports Complex in southeast Rochester without an indoor facility. Elected officials and city staff have been studying the possibility of utilizing the existing athletic facilities at the RCTC campus, which were built with a combination of state funding and revenues from Rochester's half-cent sales tax following voter approval in referendums held in 1998 and 2012.
