PRESS RELEASE: OKC for Soccer Retains CSL to Assess Planned Downtown Stadium Needs and Opportunities

CSL, an operating division of Legends, will conduct local market assessment to ensure OKC’s future multipurpose stadium provides a world-class entertainment experience.

OKC for Soccer | OKC es Fútbol, the dynamic initiative to reimagine professional soccer in Oklahoma City, today announced that it has retained CSL to conduct a market assessment to inform the development of a best-in-class fan experience at the planned multipurpose stadium. The stadium project, in partnership with the City of OKC, is set to open in 2027 and will be operated by OKC’s pro soccer club.

CSL, an operating division of global premium experiences company Legends,  is the industry’s leading feasibility, business planning, and consulting firm dedicated to the sports, entertainment, and public assembly facility industries. Members of CSL have consulted on over 2,500 projects since the mid 1990s. Recent soccer clients include FC Barcelona, Everton F.C., Valencia CF, and Inter Miami CF.

“Our job is to ensure that Oklahoma City gets the downtown stadium it needs for women’s and men’s soccer, major concerts, and all kinds of other events. CSL is the standard bearer in developing stadium experiences around the world, and we want to work with the best,” said Court Jeske, President of OKC for Soccer. “We are striving to think big and act big as we reimagine professional soccer in the city we call home. Partnering with a global market leader like CSL, taking key learnings from Legends and their global portfolio of clients, is a positive way to begin this process.”

“CSL is looking forward to utilizing learnings from over 500 soccer stadium projects around the world and applying those to the multipurpose stadium study in Oklahoma City,” said Ben Wrigley, Chief Operating Officer of CSL.

CSL’s work for OKC for Soccer features an extensive market survey that will be made available to fans, the first step in informing decisions related to the development of a new, multipurpose stadium in downtown Oklahoma City.

The survey will be made available on OKCforSoccer.com and through OKC for Soccer social channels in early November.
