Detroit soccer club seeks $15M to complete $50M equity raise for new stadium

The Detroit City FC soccer organization is looking to raise another $15 million as its final bucket of equity for a new stadium in southwest Detroit.
The $15 million raise, revealed in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing Tuesday, would bring the team to $50 million in equity after it secured $10 million in a March equity raise and had previously privately secured an undisclosed $25 million in equity. The $15 million tranche seeks investors willing to commit a minimum of $250,000, according to the filing. The previous $10 million raise sought a minimum of $500,000 from investors.

Sean Mann, co-owner, co-founder and CEO of Detroit City FC, said Thursday that the $15 million raise is expected to be the final tranche. “By filing this, we can start collecting checks on conversations we’ve been having here as things come together for the project,” Mann said.

Detroit City FC, which has men’s, women’s and youth soccer clubs, has been assembling land around Michigan Avenue and 20th Street in southwest Detroit for over a year for the large-scale project, kicking off in March 2024 with the $6.5 million purchase of the to-be-razed former Southwest Detroit Hospital site.

A lot of the parking was on residential streets on homeowner's lots. They would charge you and watch your car. That's the way we used to park, I don't ever remember doing it any other way.
