New Sports & Event Venue Celebrates Grand Opening In West Haven

WEST HAVEN, CT — A new sports and entertainment venue owned by two sisters recently celebrated its grand opening in West Haven.

The City of West Haven and the Milford Regional Chamber of Commerce welcomed The Building Complex to the region with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, June 5.

Founded by sisters Sylvia and Brina Yanez, The Building Complex is a sports and entertainment venue designed with community impact at its core, according to a news release.

Located on the former site of their family’s construction business, the Yanez sisters have “transformed the space into a hub for celebration, fitness, and meaningful events,” the news release states.

The 3,000-square-foot complex offers indoor and outdoor turf fields for sports events, including soccer and cornhole tournaments. It also offers glow-in-the-dark bingo and “Are You a True Westie” trivia nights.

As guests arrived for the ribbon cutting, a Red Cross Blood Drive was just wrapping up and a Youth Soccer Clinic was kicking off—illustrating the versatility and community-driven mission of the facility, according to the chamber.

“This has been a long time coming,” Brina Yanez said. “It took a lot of gravel, dirt and hard work, but we are so happy to create a space the community can enjoy.”

Since opening, the venue has hosted a variety of events, including the first West Haven Regional Home Show, birthday parties, Quinceañera celebrations, family reunions, and numerous soccer and futsal tournaments.
