SOCCER: GROWING IN POPULARITY

WE HAVE A PLAN

PHASE 1 CURRENT HOME

PHASE 2 PHASE 1 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS

PHASE 2 PHASE 3 PHASE 1 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS

200 x 120 Playing Surface Currently the closest indoor facilities are in Columbus and Montgomery. They are booked solid every hour they are open. Large revenue potential. INDOOR FACILITY

Growing Auburn population. Popularity of soccer continues to outpace population growth as well as increasing popularity amongst the youth of Auburn. Extra space will enable continued growth and participation. Extra space means more possible revenue opportunities with more tournaments. The Indoor Facility (Phase 3) allows for more leagues, community growth, and additional revenue opportunities. COMMUNITY IMPACT

PROGRESS SO FAR We have raised over $400,000.00 In October 2015 we added lights to Field 1 to increase playing surface. After this project we are left with $290,000.00.

The land needed is already owned by the city. Land has been cleared, surveyed, and is ready to be graded. WE ARE READY

The current 5 mil tax previously used for Parks and Recreation priorities is now used exclusively for school issues and will not be available for field and infrastructure expansion for thirty years. Raising money is our only means to this end. PUBLIC FUNDING

Phase 2 cost was bid at $2,182,793.50 in 2013. Phase 3 cost was bid at $1,819,528.00. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
