New Complex
It is time for a place that our local athletes, families, and fans can call home.
COMING SPRING 2025
Complex Update as of 10/2/2024
The TIF/CID agreement continues thru its process. TIF/CID Commission has been formed and meets at the end of October to complete the review process and vote to send the agreement to the City Council for final vote. That City Council vote will be held no later than December 1, 2024. At this point, the approval from the City Council on the TIF/CID will exercise the Deed of Trust transfer from the land donors and UCC will begin excavation before year-end. This is the current timeline for the project.
United Capital City (UCC) Soccer Club has been developing young athletes, girls and boys alike, ages 8U to 19U for nearly two decades. We foster the competitive nature of Central Missouri athletes by elevating their play, developing their leadership, and most importantly, unlocking their potential. UCC strives to build a strong foundation of fundamentals and provide the opportunity for athletes to achieve the next level.
UCC families throughout Central Missouri typically travel 1-2 days weekly, all over the state to maintain their competitive edge. Working in partnership with the Jefferson City Area YMCA, Jefferson City Parks & Recreation, SLYSA, MYSA, Heartland Soccer, Lou Fusz Athletic, and Special Olympics Missouri, we encourage our athletes to embrace adversity in all aspects of their life (spiritually, academically, and physically), positively influence their teammates, and better their community.
Mid-America Bank Sports Complex will be a multi-purpose facility. GPS guided robots (that line the fields) will allow UCC Athletic to transform the soccer facility into a baseball and softball complex. This flexibility will provide more opportunities to the community and allow UCC Athletic to expand its membership.
We aim to fulfill our mission — “to ensure all athletes have the access, ability, and opportunity to play sports.”
Mid-America Bank Sports Complex will benefit our entire local community. Incorporation of local, regional, and statewide tournaments and events, will allow athletes and families from a 9-State Region to compete, which in-turn will directly stimulate our economy. According to the Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau, ”a complex with 4-6 synthetic turf fields has the potential on any given weekend to draw thousands of athletes and fans to our community, rather than away. Effectively, we will become a destination for families all throughout the Midwest.”
GROW AS A COMMUNITY
Understanding the need and collaborating with the Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau, we believe that a 1-day tournament can bring revenue of up to $100,000 for our local economy. A 2-3 day tournament can gross up to an estimated $750,000 to $1 million.*
Local hotels, restaurants, and local businesses will greatly benefit from the regional tournaments. Regardless of the size of the tournament, when we become a destination event, the economics follow. Our community and local businesses will be blessed with outside revenue streams, and our families will save expenses that may be reinvested back into our community.
Transforming our community to a weekend destination and saving our local residents an insurmountable amount of time and money in travel, fees, and overnight stays.
GROW AS A REGION
Mid-America Bank Sports Complex will unite a 9-State Region — bringing together teams and athletes from all over the Midwest; including Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa for the first time. This unique opportunity can create a return with exponential dividends, pouring directly into our local economy and our local community!
