Detroit City FC Releases New Corktown Stadium Details

DETROIT — Detroit City Football Club on Monday released new details about its new stadium, including its new name.

The new 15,000-seat stadium will be known as AlumniFi Field, named after the team's exclusive financial partner.

Developers are planning to build the stadium along Michigan Avenue and 20th Street, the former site of Southwest Detroit Hospital, which closed in 1991. Construction is expected to begin later this year, and officials are aiming for a 2027 opening for the USL Championship season.

Ticket deposits for the 2027 season will open on Aug. 26.

It will be Detroit’s only privately owned and financed professional sports stadium.

"As longtime residents of the city, the leaders and founders of the Club view this stadium not only as an opportunity for our organization and sport, but as a civic endeavor to give back to the city we love," said Sean Mann, Detroit City FC CEO. "Through our partnership, AlumniFi has been working with us on a shared vision for a stronger, more connected Detroit, creating an environment where everyone from youth to adults can thrive."

Detroit City Football Club currently plays its games at Hamtramck's Keyworth Stadium. Before that, the team played at Detroit's Cass Tech High School.
