When Fox 4 takes you behind the scenes of the future home of FC Naples, the Paradise Coast Sports Complex, you can almost feel the electric anticipation hanging in the air. Bob Moreno, the proud CEO of Collier County’s first professional sports team, walks the grounds and can’t help but smile.
“There’s no bad seat in the house,” Moreno emphasizes, proudly surveying the stadium. Its design promises an immersive experience for every fan.
FC Naples Stadium Tour
As the date approaches for the very first match on March 8th, fans are eager to discover diverse experiences and ticket options. Season tickets are accessible, starting at just eight dollars, making it easier for everyone to witness the excitement.
The Lake Park Dinner Party Patio, an inviting space for large gatherings, is not just a venue but a chance for friends to create memories. For those craving a different vibe, the spectating experience from the east-side berms will be a great spot to enjoy the unfolding drama of the game.
And let’s not forget the Seminole Hotel Casino Beer Garden, where refreshments await. It’s a convivial spot to unwind, share laughs, and engage in casual chatter about plays as they happen.
“Fans will be able to experience the game very close,” Moreno assures. He highlights the presence of food trucks, craft beer options, and cozy picnic tables that will contribute to the stadium’s vibrant atmosphere.
FC Naples is not just a team; it’s a melting pot of cultures, all united under one banner and one goal.
On the north side, visitors will find La Barra 239, the supporters club that embodies the heart and soul of FC Naples. This lively group will transform every match into a festival with their drums, spirited chants, and infectious enthusiasm.
“We want experiences for whatever you’re looking for,” Moreno articulates thoughtfully. “Some people enjoy sitting down for the entire game, while others love mingling and moving around. We aimed to provide various price points and experiences to cater to everyone.”
With the season fast approaching, FC Naples has even welcomed a homegrown player to the team, highlighting the local talent that feeds into this budding venture.
The Paradise Coast Sports Complex, having opened its doors in July 2020, stands as a testament to local commitment and progress.
Collier County Commissioner Rick LoCastro echoes this sentiment. “The aesthetic, the location, the venue—it’s all part of having a professional team,” he notes, emphasizing the need to leverage these qualities to build a lasting legacy.
