History
Phoenix Rising FC is a candidate for Major League Soccer expansion. If the franchise is awarded, a permanent stadium will be constructed on the site.[6] The first game at the complex was held on March 25, 2017, when Rising FC hosted Toronto FC II in front of a crowd of 6,890 fans.[7] They won their first game at the stadium on April 8 by defeating LA Galaxy II 2–1. Luke Rooney scored both goals, the first one on a penalty kick. They were the first goals scored by the team in their new stadium.[8]
