The report says Reno City FC’s proposed home would hold 6,000 supporters and cost about $80 million. The stadium is planned for the former Jones-West Ford site on Kietzke Lane, as part of The Boulevard Reno, a wider entertainment development expected to include a hotel and casino.
That location could give the club more than a matchday venue. A stadium inside a larger district would offer opportunities for restaurants, events and non-matchday traffic-important foundations for a new club seeking a regular place in the city’s sporting calendar.
The report says the project still requires several planning stages, beginning with a presentation to the Reno Planning Commission, followed by reviews from the City Council and Regional Planning Commission. Club chief executive Wendy Damonte reportedly hopes to complete that process in November, with construction expected to last around 18 months.
That timetable creates a practical complication. The report says Reno City FC could begin its first 2028 season with an away-heavy schedule or use a temporary venue while the stadium is completed. For an expansion club, that opening period will be central to building momentum and converting curiosity into support.
The report says the club’s name was selected after community consultation, while its five-colour crest reflects the region’s land, water and sky. Two mustangs are intended to link Reno’s football history with the project’s future.
That history includes Reno 1868 FC, which played in the USL between 2015 and 2020. The new club therefore has a ready-made reference point-but must create its own identity.
The next milestones are the approval process, stadium construction and confirmation of a launch venue. Those steps will determine whether Reno City FC reaches 2028 with a permanent home or begins its story on the road.
