Indoor soccer complex planned for Prairie

Three regulation-size artificial turf soccer fields and an indoor field for winter training are planned for a new building on 9.5 acres in the southwest corner of Prairie Avenue at Huetter Road.

Sting Timbers FC has 40 teams of about 650 boys and girls and hosts matches that bring about 350 teams from outlying communities. With completion anticipated in the spring, the new complex will expand the amount of matches and help area businesses.
