* The 36-team men’s professional league that the Defiance play in, the United Soccer League (USL), has seen total attendance increase 33 percent since 2013. The Sounders FC, the parent club of the Tacoma Defiance, has a charitable arm called the Rave Foundation that invests in community sports. Cheney Stadium covers the infield diamond with new turf for Tacoma Defiance and Reign FC matches, so the teams need a permanent home in order to stay in Tacoma. High schools and youth recreation programs could use the stadium often.

Do you support a public-private partnership to build a soccer stadium near Cheney Stadium?
