The ownership group seeking to bring professional women’s soccer to Mesa’s former Fiesta Mall location said it expects to begin stadium construction this summer.
Sunny Day Sports, which is developing the Palo District near Alma School Road and Southern Avenue, said in a press release Monday that it is planning to move on that timeline while it attempts to attract a pro soccer franchise.
Since announcing its Founding Fans initiative in late January, Sunny Day Sports said it took 10 days to accumulate more than 15,000 sign-ups of supporters interested in bringing women’s soccer to Arizona.

“Sunny Day Sports is leading the charge, but the community is the real engine here,” said Sunny Day Sports chairwoman and owner Vicki Mayo in a release. “Thousands of fans are telling us they are ready for professional women’s soccer (in) Arizona.”
Sunny Day Sports has planned to build a $100 million women’s health campus at the former site of Fiesta Mall, which was demolished in 2023.
The 80-acre development will also include two hotels, which were announced last week.
At the heart of the project, however, is a plan for a domed stadium that will “prioritize female athletes and fans in its architectural DNA.”
The Mesa City Council voted last November to zone the Palo District as a theme park district, giving it tax breaks for construction that will be repaid from revenue generated by the completed project. It will be able to levy a sales tax on business done within the district.
