Detroit City Fieldhouse opens after renovations

The former City Sports Center is now home to the Detroit City Fieldhouse, complete with new fields and a club house. Leagues started earlier this month, and a grand opening is scheduled for October 27.

Detroit City FC and the city held a ribbon cutting on Monday, and talked about how the group’s $40,000 Motor City Match grant award helped them fully open sooner than expected. Todd Kropp, co-owner of the Fieldhouse, said that initially they thought it would take several phases to get the work completed, but the $40,000 grant helped to solidify the project and get the Fieldhouse fully open on time.

Work is finishing up on the Detroit City Club House upstairs between the two fields. A bar and restaurant will soon open here—it will be open to the public, not just for those using the field. A small club shop is also located behind the bar.
