The city has been deep in negotiations with the United Soccer League, working to bring both men's and women's teams to town.
This week, the Modesto City Council unanimously voted to designate downtown as the future site of a professional soccer stadium. The city also voted to develop the land on Modesto's West End Golf Course, turning it into a practice and tournament facility.
"This is about making our downtown a true gathering place," Mayor Sue Zwahlen said. "We already have a vibrant city center, and this would take it to the next level."
The city entered a formal negotiation period with the USL last September. The agreement gives both parties until this fall to finalize the deal.
If approved, the stadium would replace Modesto Centre Plaza, a longtime downtown fixture.
