Providence Swedish Performance Center & Clubhouse

Introducing: The Providence Swedish Performance Center & Clubhouse

Opened on February 13, 2024, Sounders FC's state-of-the-art facility houses all soccer operations, including the Academy, Tacoma Defiance and First Team, as well as business operations for the winningest franchise in MLS since entering in 2009. Our new home features four full-size training pitches (two grass and two turf) and 50,000 square feet of office space, and was developed in partnership with Unico Properties and the City of Renton.

The Providence Swedish Performance Center & Clubhouse include locker rooms for the First Team, Defiance and Academy, a world-class gym with customized equipment, treatment room, players' lounge and barbershop. The players will also benefit from a recovery room equipped with a sauna, a cold plunge, a hot tub and a cryotherapy chamber.

Rooted in History

The Providence Swedish Performance Center & Clubhouse carries on the rich sporting and Pacific Northwest history of the land. From 1933 to 1992, the site was occupied by the Longacres Racetrack, the capital of thoroughbred horse racing in western Washington.

In 1995, the land was converted into an office park for aerospace giant Boeing, serving as the company’s headquarters for the Commercial Airplanes division for 16 years. Pilots from around the world used it as a central hub for flight simulation courses, and airline technicians received maintenance training on location. With the pristine natural beauty of the campus, including a large pond nestled into the land, it served as the perfect snapshot of the Pacific Northwest.

Foundation for the Future

2024 marks the 50th anniversary for the Seattle Sounders organization. As the club celebrates its first five decades, the club's new training facility helps lay the foundation for the next 50 years. It is the physical embodiment of the club’s promise to fans of continuing to raise the bar and setting the standard for excellence on and off the field. Our new world-class training facility reaffirms the club’s values, as its design and impact reflects the commitment to our Social Justice Framework.

The club's new home strengthens our roots in the community we have served since 1974. With that firm rooting in place, the organization can continue to grow, evolve, win championships, and reflect the values of our region.
