Austin FC and the Austin Soccer Community
Capital Metro in Austin has released a rendering of what a McKalla Station Platform outside of Austin FC stadium could look like.
A new rail station at the Austin FC stadium is part of the Project Connect initial investment in Austin if Proposition A is passed in the election this year.
With the McKalla Station stop at the stadium, fans could board from multiple connections around the Austin area to the Red line and be dropped right at the stadium.
Vote YES on Prop A.
The Capital City Soccer Show is a podcast from co-hosts Jeremiah Bentley and Landon Cotham where they discuss all things Austin FC.
The episodes come out every week or two and they feature interviews with Auston soccer notables and the latest Austin FC news, such as new player announcements, stadium updates, and what’s happening with the Austin FC supporters’ group, Los Verdes.
The latest episode included a discussion with Weston Appelfeller, Senior Director of Ground at Austin FC.
It was fascinating to get first hand details of the process of choosing the type of grass for the pitch and all of the details that go into the decision.
I can’t wait to see it in person at the stadium.
🚨New Pod🚨@ElViajero87 and @JBentley_ATXvtalk to @AustinFC's top grass man, @wappelfeller. Weston tells us what he's been up to for the last year with no field to care for, and also what to expect over the coming months regarding the pitch at McKalla.

4ATX Foundation, the nonprofit arm of Austin FC, has shared their strategic roadmap and announced the launch of Verde Leaders.
“Our goal is to use the power of soccer to help close the opportunity gap, and create Austin’s next generation of leaders. 4ATX Foundation will achieve this by providing access to youth development opportunities on and off the soccer field – from building soccer pitches in underserved neighborhoods to using soccer to teach social-emotional learning,” commented Kaitlin Swarts, Vice President of Community Impact for Austin FC and 4ATX Foundation Executive Director.
Swarts continued, “4ATX Foundation will focus its efforts on programs and partnerships that empower all youth to keep our city inclusive, vibrant and confident for generations to come.”
In addition to outlining the mission for 4ATX Foundation, Swarts also unveiled its signature program, Verde Leaders, formerly known as Upper Ninety.
4ATX Foundation was unveiled in April 2019 by Anthony Precourt. Since then, 4ATX Foundation has supported a range of organizations in Austin and Central Texas, including:

Back in June 2019, Austin FC established a new MLS record for the most membership deposits placed in a single day in the history of the league.
That number has grown to over 44,000 season-ticket deposits, and now Austin FC has officially sold-out of all Season Ticket Memberships.
Austin FC will enter their inaugural season with approximately 15,500 Season Ticket Members within the new, state-of-the-art 20,500+ seat stadium.
This past February I was able to pick out my season tickets for 2021 and I can’t wait to walk into the stadium and have a seat for the first match.
