GREEN BAY (NBC26) — Is professional soccer headed to Green Bay?
It's possible, according to the city of Green Bay, which announced on Friday a possible partnership with the United Soccer League (USL).
While short on details, the city said it envisions a 5,000-seat stadium which could be integrated into a "larger entertainment district."
The development could bring exciting opportunities for athletes and coaches in the city, says Steven Purdy, an ex-professional soccer player.
“For young soccer players in Wisconsin and in this area to have a professional team would allow for them to understand, ‘Okay, this could be a real thing for myself,’” said Purdy.
Purdy owns Purdy Performance, a soccer training facility in Green Bay that sees upward of 300 athletes each week.
