Baltimore and D.C. United Unveil Carroll Park Soccer Campus Plan

State lawmakers have introduced a $217 million bond bill to back the project at the city-owned golf course, with financing decisions still pending.

Overview

  • Mayor Brandon Scott and D.C. United CEO Jason Levien outlined a proposal for a multi-team campus featuring a USL Super League women’s club, an MLS Next Pro side and expanded youth academy facilities.
  • Carroll Park was named the preferred site over the Baltimore Peninsula following Maryland Stadium Authority studies that evaluated feasibility and costs.
  • Jason Levien said Baltimore native Carmelo Anthony intends to join the ownership group tied to the prospective teams.
  • Cost estimates from the MSA place a 7,500-seat stadium in the roughly $190 million to $250 million range, and officials said construction could begin in 2027 if funding is secured.
  • D.C. United moved its March 7 MLS home match against Inter Miami to Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium as a high-profile preview while community and fiscal questions about the project are debated.
