Name and logo announced for Rhode Island USL soccer team
The name and logo for a new professional soccer team coming to Rhode Island has been announced.
In a social media post Monday morning, it was declared that the 10,000-seat Tidewater Landing stadium being built in Pawtucket near the Seekonk River will be the home pitch to Rhode Island FC. The stadium will be the flagship venue for sports and entertainment in Rhode Island, hosting other sporting and community events and concerts beginning in 2024. Groundbreaking for the stadium took place on August 12, 2022.

According to information from the club, future phases of construction will include over 500 housing units with ground floor retail. The project is also complimented by a $63 million Pawtucket/Central Falls Transit Center and commuter rail stop, along with the development of riverfront trails, providing easy access to the venue by rail, bike or foot.
The Tidewater site had been vacant for nearly 50 years. After decades of industrial use dating back to 1881, Rhode Island Energy invested millions to remediate the brownfield site which will be leased to the developer, opening up the land for public use and economic activity. The city of Pawtucket and state of Rhode Island issued an RFP in 2019 and selected Fortuitous as their partner after a competitive process.
