Event Description
TOYOTA PARK STADIUM SPRINT PRESENTED BY CHICAGO SOUTHLAND
Welcome to Toyota Park, Spartans! For the first time, Spartans will run through the home of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club, a Major League Soccer team and the Chicago Red Stars, a National Women’s Soccer League team.
Located 12 miles southwest of Chicago, this 469,000-square-foot soccer-specific stadium calls the Chicago Southland home and seats 20,000 people. TOYOTA PARK is the heart of soccer for much of the Midwest and a must-see destination for world-class concerts and other sporting events. Each year, more than a half million people go by the stadium's trademark brick arch.
This year, help us bring the Spartan finish arch to TOYOTA PARK!
