The term sheet will be reviewed and voted on by the Sacramento City Council on Tuesday, Dec. 1. Fans are encouraged to attend the City Council meeting, which begins at 6 p.m.
“There is tremendous enthusiasm for having a Major League Soccer team in Sacramento. The preliminary term sheet illustrates the City’s commitment to bringing an MLS team to the city and to bringing new life to the long shuttered Railyards site,” said Sacramento City Manager John Shirey.
“This is another huge win and we greatly appreciate the City’s support,” said Kevin Nagle, Managing Partner of SSEH. “This term sheet reflects just how committed, united and ready Sacramento is when it comes to bringing MLS to Sacramento and delivering a world-class MLS stadium to our community.”

The preliminary term sheet sets forth a detailed framework on key items of the stadium plan, including: location, financing, ownership, design, development, construction, operation, use and occupancy, and maintenance and repairs.
Highlights of the term sheet include:
- SSEH will own and operate the approximately 450,000 square foot stadium at the northeast corner of The Railyards site
- The stadium will have a capacity of 25,000 seats, including 3,100 premium seats, and a dedicated “supporter section” exclusively for the Tower Bridge Battalion
- Programming will include home MLS matches, friendlies, concerts, festivals and other sporting, family and civic events
- SSEH will arrange for a minimum of 6,500 parking spaces
- The stadium will have close proximity to light rail and the Sacramento Valley Station
- SSEH will fully finance the estimated $180 million in stadium project costs
- The City and other public agencies are committing the estimated $46 million in backbone infrastructure already completed (e.g. roads, sidewalks utilities, etc) on the site, which has been long envisioned as a perfect site for a catalyst project such as a soccer stadium
- There is no new public funding being committed
- SSEH will assume full responsibility for site assembly, predevelopment costs, cost overruns, municipal services and capital repairs
- SSEH will request to host an MLS All-Star Game within three years of the stadium opening
According to the City analysis, the project will generate as much as $341 million in economic output during construction and as many as 2,628 jobs. The analysis forecasts additional economic impact spurred in the surrounding area.
To drive the stadium development process, SSEH hired Legends as project manager and HNTB as lead architect. At the current pace of development, the new MLS stadium could open as early as March 2018.
While the term sheet is preliminary and non-binding, it would serve as a good faith agreement and guideline for the preparation of definitive agreements between the City and SSEH for the development of the stadium, subject to all environmental considerations. The Preliminary Term Sheet would only be effective if MLS awards an expansion team and SSEH consummates the acquisition of the team.
