Start your project with us

Versatile fields purpose-built to deliver community and economic returns

Multi-purpose and soccer field complexes are among the most versatile assets in sports tourism, delivering year-round value for both traveling teams and the local community. Designed to accommodate soccer, lacrosse, flag football, rugby, and a variety of field sports, these complexes can host regional and national tournaments that drive visitation and economic impact while also supporting daily league play, practices, camps, and recreational programming. With tournament-ready layouts, flexible field configurations, and durable surfaces that maximize playable hours, multi-purpose fields increase utilization, diversify revenue, and ensure consistent community access. The result is a high-performing destination that balances competitive play with inclusive, everyday use.

“Working with SFC has been a game-changer. There are lots of operators out there, but SFC is clearly head and shoulders above them for many reasons.”

Kevin Matocha
Founder and CEO
Stonehenge Companies, LLC

“We definitely feel like the pro forma and feasibility report is going to help impact our community by providing our constituents and our elected officials with the information they need to make an informed evaluation of how to move forward.”

Gumaro Martinez
Executive Director of Parks and Leisure Services
City of Waxahachie, TX

“When we went out looking for a partner, we couldn’t have found a better one than SFC- with the knowledge to operate these facilities, operate them efficiently and effectively, and be willing to take on all kinds of new partners. This is a huge project, The Sports Empire, to the extent that it will take many different cooks in one single kitchen, which demands that we all get along and that we all have a common vision. When SFC was willing to make that commitment to the city of Ontario, it made it so much easier to be able to work with them and other partners to pull together this vision.”

Scott Ochoa
City Manager
City of Ontario, CA

“It gave us data to back up what we’re doing. It shared information from what’s happening across the country with new trends and what other destinations are doing and finding success in and so it really has impacted the community, because it’s open city leadership’s eyes in terms of how we can really support new initiatives.”

Ben Snyder
Executive Director
Grand Junction Sports Commission
