Texas Health Mansfield Stadium, the city’s new 7,000-seat professional soccer venue at 3405 Stadium Drive, opens Saturday, July 4, 2026 as the home of North Texas SC — the MLS NEXT Pro affiliate of FC Dallas. The $85 million city-owned stadium is the centerpiece of the Staybolt Street Entertainment District east of Texas 360 and Lone Star Road, and will host both the Czech Republic’s 2026 FIFA World Cup base camp and the Concacaf W Championship featuring the U.S. Women’s National Team later this year.

This guide pulls together what has been publicly confirmed about Mansfield’s first professional sports stadium — and flags what remains unknown as of May 2026.

Where the stadium is — and what it is

Texas Health Mansfield Stadium sits at 3405 Stadium Drive, Mansfield, TX 76063, on the east side of State Highway 360 near the Lone Star Road intersection, according to the North Texas SC fan FAQ and the stadium’s Wikipedia entry.

It is a 200,000-square-foot multi-use venue with 7,000-plus fixed seats, four locker rooms, suites, lounges, and a club space, per the Mansfield Record’s coverage of the October 2025 topping-out ceremony. The City of Mansfield owns the building; REV Entertainment (the Texas Rangers’ events affiliate) operates it, while FCD Management, an FC Dallas affiliate of Hunt Sports LLC, programs the sports calendar, the City of Mansfield announced when the operating partnership was signed in 2023.

“This stadium will provide a lot of energy for the entertainment district.” — Mayor Michael Evans and City Manager Joe Smolinski, at the October 2025 topping-out ceremony

Who will play there

The primary tenant is North Texas SC, the 2024 MLS NEXT Pro champions and FC Dallas’s development affiliate. North Texas SC will play its inaugural Mansfield match on Saturday, July 4, 2026, the team confirmed. The club spent its first five seasons at Choctaw Stadium in Arlington (with a brief stop at Toyota Stadium in Frisco in 2019) and will play out its 2025 season in Arlington before the Mansfield move.

The MLS NEXT Pro regular season runs March through September, with playoffs in October and November, per the team’s fan FAQ. Season memberships start at $90 and run to $360 per seat for 14 guaranteed home matches; suite and club packages start at $40 per match.

“We are excited to bring professional soccer to this remarkable stadium.” — North Texas SC General Manager Matt Denny

To be clear about what Mansfield Stadium is not: it is not a Major League Soccer (top-flight) stadium and not a USL Championship venue. MLS NEXT Pro is the third tier of the U.S. professional soccer pyramid, designed to develop players bound for MLS clubs like FC Dallas, whose senior team continues to play at Toyota Stadium in Frisco — not in Mansfield.

When it opens

• Groundbreaking: December 18, 2024
• Topping out: October 5, 2025
• Substantial completion target: April or May 2026 (Mansfield Record)
• First North Texas SC home match: Saturday, July 4, 2026
• FIFA World Cup base camp use: Summer 2026 (Czech Republic national team, dates not publicly confirmed)
• Concacaf W Championship matches: November 27 – December 2, 2026

What it costs — and who’s paying

The total stadium cost is $85 million, financed through a public-private partnership in which the city owns the venue and REV Entertainment / FC Dallas operate it. (One December 2024 WFAA headline cited an $88 million figure at groundbreaking; the consistent number used by the city, its development corporation, and most subsequent reporting is $85 million.)

The path to that public funding ran through a May 6, 2023 city election, as reported by Focus Daily News. Mansfield voters approved two propositions broadening how the Mansfield Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) can spend its half-cent sales tax — the same Type A sales tax voters originally authorized in 1997 for industrial and corporate-headquarters projects:

• Proposition A (passed 64% to 36%): expanded permissible uses to include professional and amateur sports facilities, tourism and entertainment facilities, convention centers, public parks, and related restaurants, parking, and transportation infrastructure.
• Proposition B (passed 54% to 46%): specifically authorized using the half-cent sales tax to build a “professional multi-sport venue” and pay for its related infrastructure, maintenance, and operating costs.

In other words, the stadium is being funded out of existing sales tax collections — not a new bond and not a new property tax, according to the language voters approved. The proposition language allows the MEDC to also pay ongoing operating and maintenance costs out of the same revenue stream.

“This is a game changer for Mansfield.” — MEDC President David Godin, after the May 2023 vote

The exact construction-contract dollar split between the MEDC, the city, and private partners has not been published in a single consolidated document that this newsroom has located as of May 2026.

Who designed and built it

• Design architect: Perkins&Will, per the Mansfield Record’s groundbreaking coverage
• General contractor: Moss & Associates Construction (referenced as “Moss Construction” in the city’s topping-out coverage)
• Operator: REV Entertainment (a Texas Rangers / Rangers Baseball Express affiliate)
• Sports programming and consulting: FCD Management, an FC Dallas / Hunt Sports LLC subsidiary
• Owner: City of Mansfield

REV Entertainment also serves as design and construction consultant alongside Perkins&Will and Moss, the city said in its 2023 partnership announcement.

The naming rights deal

On January 30, 2026, the city and REV Entertainment announced a 10-year naming rights agreement with Texas Health Resources, making the venue’s official name Texas Health Mansfield Stadium. Texas Health also becomes the stadium’s Official Health Partner. The financial value of the agreement has not been publicly disclosed.

“This facility will not only host events — it will serve as the central wellness hub for the entire Mansfield community.” — Eulanie Lashley, President and CEO, Texas Health Hospital Mansfield

The 2026 FIFA World Cup base camp

In March 2026, FIFA designated Mansfield Stadium as an official Team Base Camp Training Site for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the city announced. The team initially assigned was the winner of UEFA Play-Off Path D — Czech Republic, Denmark, North Macedonia, or Republic of Ireland.

That winner is Czechia (Czech Republic), which defeated Denmark on penalties in the playoff and has now confirmed Mansfield as its base camp, FOX 4 News reported. Czechia plays Group A matches against South Korea (Guadalajara, June 11), South Africa (Atlanta, June 18), and Mexico (Mexico City, June 24), and will train in Mansfield between trips.

FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco is the other DFW-area base camp; the two are described as complementary regional training headquarters.

“We look forward to showing our guests the Southern hospitality Mansfield is known for.” — Mayor Michael Evans

What’s not publicly confirmed: the specific dates the Czech team will be in Mansfield, whether trainings will be open to the public, and the financial terms of the FIFA base-camp agreement.

Concacaf W Championship — the USWNT comes to Mansfield

Before the stadium has even celebrated a calendar year of operation, it will host the opening rounds of the 2026 Concacaf W Championship, Concacaf confirmed:

• Quarterfinals: Friday, November 27 and Saturday, November 28, 2026
• Semifinals: Tuesday, December 1, 2026
• Play-In matches: Wednesday, December 2, 2026
• Final and Third Place: Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, December 5

The tournament is a qualifier for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The U.S. Women’s National Team — the defending Concacaf W champions — plays its quarterfinal in Mansfield against El Salvador on November 27.

The Staybolt Street Entertainment District around the stadium

The stadium is the anchor tenant of the Staybolt Street Entertainment District, a privately-financed mixed-use development the city has described as a $2.5 billion total private-sector investment, per the Mansfield Economic Development Corporation. (The city’s own Staybolt page describes the district as “250-acre”; the MEDC’s site describes it as “100-acre.” The two figures may reflect different boundary definitions; the city has not yet published a reconciled site plan that this newsroom could locate.)

Other planned components, with public-facing target dates:

• High 5 Mansfield — 45,000-square-foot bowling/arcade/mini-golf entertainment center with rooftop concert space (opened Winter 2025)
• Fields at Station 63 — 40-acre youth sports complex with eight turf baseball/softball fields and a Miracle League field (opened September 2025)
• Hotel Carbon — 175-room athlete-focused hotel (target: Winter 2027)
• Second hotel — 150 rooms (target: Winter 2027)
• Conference center — 22,000 square feet (target: Winter 2027)
• Residential — 700 single-family homes
• Retail, restaurants, and a boardwalk park

The MEDC has said the district will produce “millions in annual sales and property tax revenue,” but no specific job-count, sales-tax-revenue, or visitor-spending projection has been publicly released as of May 2026 that this newsroom has located.

Traffic, parking, and access

The Staybolt district sits along Toll Road 360, the city’s page on the district notes, with planned infrastructure upgrades along Lone Star Parkway and Heritage Parkway to manage internal traffic flow. No public, finalized parking count for game days has been released, and the North Texas SC fan FAQ does not yet list event-day shuttle, rideshare-staging, or transit details.

Year-round events: concerts, tournaments, rodeo

City and operator communications describe Texas Health Mansfield Stadium as a year-round, multi-use venue — not solely a soccer stadium. Programming announced or referenced publicly so far includes:

• North Texas SC home matches (March through September, plus playoffs)
• Youth soccer and international soccer tournaments (programmed by FCD Management)
• Concerts
• Rodeo events
• The 2026 FIFA World Cup base camp use (private team training)
• The 2026 Concacaf W Championship (quarterfinals, semifinals, play-in matches)

Mansfield ISD high school football is not currently scheduled for the stadium; MISD home games continue to be played at Vernon Newsom Stadium and R.L. Anderson Stadium.

What’s still unconfirmed

• The exact public/private dollar split of the $85 million budget — i.e., how much comes from MEDC half-cent sales tax revenue vs. private capital
• The financial value of the Texas Health Resources naming rights agreement
• The financial terms of the FIFA base-camp agreement and the dates Czech Republic players will be in Mansfield
• Final parking counts and traffic-management plans for game days
• The reconciled acreage of the Staybolt district (city materials cite 250 acres; the MEDC cites 100 acres)
• Specific job-creation and tax-revenue projections for the stadium itself, as opposed to the broader district
• Whether the stadium will host any tax-abatement-funded private uses beyond what has already been authorized through Propositions A and B
• The full 2026 concert and event calendar beyond soccer
• Public access details for Czech Republic World Cup training sessions

This newsroom has not located evidence of organized opposition or zoning controversy specific to the stadium in city council records. The closest reflection of public sentiment is the 46% “no” vote on Proposition B in May 2023, which authorized the multi-sport venue spending — the proposition still passed, but by a narrower margin than Proposition A (which passed 64-36).

How Mansfield’s stadium compares to other DFW soccer venues

Venue	City	Tier	Capacity
Toyota Stadium	Frisco	MLS (FC Dallas)	~20,500
Choctaw Stadium	Arlington	Multi-use (former MLB)	~47,000
Texas Health Mansfield Stadium	Mansfield	MLS NEXT Pro	7,000+

Mansfield Stadium is not a replacement for Toyota Stadium in Frisco — FC Dallas’s senior MLS team continues to play there. Choctaw Stadium is the former Texas Rangers ballpark in Arlington and is where North Texas SC plays through 2025. Mansfield Stadium is, however, a clear upgrade in soccer-specific amenities over either of those venues for a third-tier club: it is purpose-built for soccer at this level, with FIFA-quality dimensions that allowed it to qualify as a World Cup base camp.

Frequently asked questions

What team will play at the new Mansfield stadium? North Texas SC, the MLS NEXT Pro affiliate of FC Dallas and 2024 MLS NEXT Pro champion. The U.S. Women’s National Team will also play a Concacaf W Championship quarterfinal there on November 27, 2026, and the Czech Republic national team will use the stadium as its 2026 FIFA World Cup base camp.

When does Mansfield Stadium open? The first North Texas SC home match is scheduled for Saturday, July 4, 2026. Construction is targeted to be substantially complete in April or May 2026.

What is the capacity of the Mansfield soccer stadium? 7,000-plus fixed seats, plus suites, club space, and a designated supporters’ section in sections 113-119.

How much did the Mansfield stadium cost? $85 million. One early WFAA report cited an $88 million figure; $85 million is the number consistently used by the city and its development corporation.

Who is paying for the Mansfield stadium? The City of Mansfield owns the stadium and is funding its share through the Mansfield Economic Development Corporation’s half-cent sales tax — the same tax voters approved in 1997 and broadened for sports venues with Propositions A and B in May 2023. REV Entertainment and FC Dallas’s FCD Management are private partners on operations and programming. There is no new bond and no new property tax dedicated to the stadium.

Where is the Mansfield soccer stadium located? 3405 Stadium Drive, Mansfield, TX 76063, on the east side of Texas 360 near the Lone Star Road intersection. It is the anchor of the Staybolt Street Entertainment District.

How will parking work at Mansfield Stadium? Specific parking counts and game-day plans have not been publicly released as of May 2026. The city has indicated that infrastructure improvements along Lone Star Parkway and Heritage Parkway are intended to manage event-day traffic, with primary access via Toll Road 360.

Will my property taxes go up because of the stadium? Based on what voters approved in May 2023, no. The MEDC funding mechanism uses an existing half-cent sales tax, not property taxes. The MEDC has stated the broader Staybolt district is expected to generate new sales and property tax revenue once the surrounding hotels, retail, and 700 single-family homes are built out — meaning the long-term effect is projected to be additive to the city’s tax base, not a draw on existing property taxes. Specific projections have not been published.

Is this an MLS or USL stadium? Neither. It is an MLS NEXT Pro stadium — the third tier of U.S. professional soccer, primarily a player-development league for MLS clubs. FC Dallas’s MLS team continues to play at Toyota Stadium in Frisco.

Will Mansfield ISD play high school football at the stadium? There are no announced plans for Mansfield ISD high school football to relocate. MISD home football games continue at Vernon Newsom Stadium and R.L. Anderson Stadium.
