The 716 Sports Complex is a $50 million, 331,000 square-foot multi-use sports and entertainment destination that will be located at 330 Maple Road in Amherst.

Lawmaker Vote to Fast-Track San Diego Stadium and Housing Project
California state lawmakers on Sunday voted to fast-track a San Diego stadium and housing project by helping it avoid lawsuits over its impacts to the environment.
State Sen. Akilah Weber Pierson (D-La Mesa) led the push for two bills to help Midway Rising, a project backed by Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke.
The proposed project will replace the decades-old Pechanga Arena, and includes a new 16,000-seat facility, 4,254 homes, including up to 2,000 affordable units, and commercial and outdoor space. The site is south of Mission Bay.
