NY Red Bulls to Build Training Complex in Greater Morristown

The NY Red Bulls Soccer team announced Wednesday, October 27, 2021, that their new, privately funded training complex will be built in the Morris Township area. The complex will replace the former Honeywell site off Colombia Road. The 80-acre complex will house eight soccer pitches and the Red Bulls office staff.

The complex will be for the Red Bulls First Team, and Red Bulls II (the second string team), as well as serve as home to the New York Red Bulls Academy and Youth Training programs, North America’s leading youth soccer development system.

"We are fortunate to have the support and commitment from Red Bull to help realize our vision of developing a world-class Training Complex for our organization," said Marc de Grandpré, General Manager, New York Red Bulls. "This will further our pledge to develop, engage and inspire the local community through the beautiful game."

"The development of the Training Complex demonstrates our unwavering commitment to the game of soccer in this country," said Kevin Thelwell, Head of Sport, New York Red Bulls. "The facilities and accommodations will provide our First Team, as well as our valued young players, with the highest levels of support necessary to succeed with our club."

"We are excited that the New York Red Bulls are planning to make Morris Township their future home and looking forward to beginning the approval process with them,” said Mayor Jeffrey Grayzel. "The Red Bulls organization has done a tremendous job contributing to and supporting their local community and creating lifelong fans. We are pleased that the Red Bulls are considering Morris Township for their new facility."
