Set to open by 2026 with a seating capacity of 6,300, the stadium aims to be a vibrant community hub for sports, concerts, and events.

Mauldin, South Carolina has officially kicked off the construction of a multiuse stadium designed to be the new permanent home for the Greenville Triumph SC and Greenville Liberty SC soccer teams. This exciting project is expected to welcome its first matches by 2026, offering a dedicated venue for soccer alongside various community events.
The stadium development, situated at BridgeWay Station, is the result of a public/private partnership. Funding for the project includes $4 million from the City of Mauldin, $10 million from the State of South Carolina, and over $13.5 million from Greenville Pro Soccer (GPS). Additional contributions have come in the form of land and planning support from Hughes Investments.
This newly designed venue will seat 6,300 spectators, scaling down from an earlier estimate of 8,100 seats. It is set to not only serve as a home for professional soccer games but also host youth and college sports, concerts, festivals, and community events—essentially emerging as a vibrant community hub.
With the goal of creating an “unforgettable matchday experience”, the stadium is envisioned as a lively destination featuring nearby restaurants and shops. Architecturally, it will blend seamlessly with the European-inspired aesthetic of the BridgeWay Station development, characterized by grand columns, ornamental cornices, and Italian-style towers.
Another key feature of the project is a new pedestrian bridge that is planned to connect BridgeWay Station with the Swamp Rabbit Trail. This enhancement aims to improve accessibility for visitors and attendees, making it easier to travel to and from the stadium.
Greenville Pro Soccer is working closely with the City of Mauldin, local schools, and businesses to formulate an operations plan that will prioritize parking, pedestrian safety, and traffic flow around the newly constructed stadium.
This initiative is more than just a facility for sporting events; it is designed to foster community strength and promote economic growth in the Mauldin area. The stadium will mark the first permanent location for the Greenville Triumph and Greenville Liberty, both of which have previously played at Legacy Early College and Furman University.
The announcement of this project coincides with recent leadership changes within GPS, notably the appointment of Wallace Cheves as chairman. While a definitive cost estimate for the entire project has yet to be established, construction has begun and is expected to progress without delay, even in the possibility of seeking additional funding from county sources.
