Just over a month after its announcement, the new Bay Area women’s soccer team, Bay FC, has filed permits for the new permanent training facility at 449 Avenue H on Treasure Island, San Francisco. The application will create a two-story facility and three soccer fields. The Treasure Island Development Authority is listed as the property owner.
Construction will yield a 25,000-square-foot athletic facility between one and two stories tall next to three full soccer fields. Of the three soccer fields, two will feature natural grass, with one artificial turf grass. Surface parking will be included for 100 cars. The indoor facility will include a weight room, medical and wellness center, kitchen and dining room, laundry, locker rooms, lounges, meeting areas, event space, and athletic staff offices.

From last month’s announcement, Bay FC shared they plan to start construction next year, with the facility to open for the 2027 season. The team’s CEO, Brady Stewart, shared the following statement alongside their announcement:
“Treasure Island provides us an iconic location to continue to build an iconic club – it centers the Bay’s team literally in the middle of the Bay… Having a permanent dedicated space that is built specifically for our players and football operations staff will allow us to continue to attract the best national and international talent and continue our Club’s mission of being a catalyst for innovation and change for our athletes and the community.”
Bay FC was founded in 2023, with their inaugural season starting in March of this year. The team is the 14th to join the National Women’s Soccer League, playing home games at PayPal Park in San Jose.

Demolition will be required for the existing 50,000-square-foot wood-framed building and site clearing of soil across the 8.5-acre parcel. The site has been used as a stockpile for soil related to the various construction projects across Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island.
