Saw on Twitter that last step of approval happened tonight. Pretty awesome that they are building it in Kansas.
An excerpt from an article from a few months back..
"The $75 million-plus soccer village will provide a world-class environment to develop players, coaches and referees of all ages. The state-of-the-art facility will include approximately 100,000 square feet for an indoor facility with a practice field, eight lighted professional smart fields and eight youth fields.
Additional amenities will include a climate-controlled indoor pavilion and specialized facilities tailored toward strength and nutrition, hydration, sports science, health and wellness, video and analytics. The complex will also feature a 125-room full-service hotel.
"This is a great opportunity for us to continue to grow soccer in Kansas City and further establish being the soccer capital of America," Sporting Club CEO Robb Heineman said in a statement.
"To us, this is equivalent to bringing another sports franchise here, with the ultimate goal of helping the United States win the World Cup through youth soccer development, coaching training, advanced sports science and world-class facilities. "
