Facility Updates & Construction

Facility and Campus Updates

The National Sports Center will have many updates on campus with new artificial turf fields as well as new roads and infrastrcuture for easy campus navigation.

 June 6, 2025 Campus Update

We are looking forward to welcoming your player and family to our campus for the All-American Cup tournament this weekend. We apologize in advance for our mess, as we are updating our campus to make the experience better for our users. Due to construction on the property adjacent to the National Sports Center, our access to Parking Lot C leading to fields 25-32, is only available from Davenport Ave. The NSC has worked with the city and Blaine PD to create the best traffic flow from the National Sports Center merging into traffic from the adjacent streets. This also impacts Parking Lot D, as cars can only exit out onto 105th to help with the traffic flow on Davenport.

Please understand that this may cause delays leaving our facility and on the adjacent streets. This is a temporary situation and we understand that it can take longer than expected to get around campus.

We will be offering a complimentary shuttle service on FRIDAY and SATURDAY for teams playing on the north side, from parking lot J, located off of Davenport. This shuttle will drop you off on the perimeter of campus getting you closer to the fields, without having to park on the north side. Please see the maps page for the shuttle map. 

We suggest that you plan accordingly, allow more time to get to and from games, consider carpooling, and/or taking advantage of our complimentary shuttle service to the north side of campus. We appreciate your patience and wish you the best of luck this weekend.

May 2, 2025 Campus Update

The National Sports Center is undergoing some construction updates on campus to make the facility more user friendly. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause during your visit on campus.
 
Please note if you are playing on fields 25-32, you should enter the north entrance off of Davenport leading to Parking Lot A, you will then continue east into Parking Lot C via a new driveway.  The road entering campus east of the fields is closed, due to construction on the adjacent property, so this entrance is the only entrance to reach Parking Lot C.
 
Also, please note the entrance into Parking Lot D is entrance only from Davenport. All vehicles must exit from Parking Lot D on to 105th Ave.

If you are playing on fields 25-32, please be advised that the road entering campus east of the fields is closed, due to construction on the adjacent property. We recommend parking in lot D for fields 29-32 and lot A for fields 25-28. There are entrances to the turf fields near the pedestrian bridges located on the west side of the fields.

The National Sports Center is undergoing some construction updates on campus to make the facility more user friendly. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause during your visit on campus.

Fields 50/51

These fields are being reconstructed into a premiere grass playing field that will open in 2026. The retaining ponds adjacent to the fields are part of the campus storm water management plan.

In Front of Welcome Center

A renovated plaza and pond are being constructed. The plaza will become a gathering place for our guests and vendors during events. The pond will celebrate the state of Minnesota and is also part of the campus storm water management plan.

Pedestrian Flow

Sidewalks and trails will be constructed across the south side of campus to accommodate our guests and provide more safety when moving about the campus. Additionally, player drop off zones will be added in front of the Welcome Center, Super Rink and near field 58.

If you see any safety concerns during your visit here due to the construction, please email construction@nscsports.org.
