Sacramento Republic FC has announced the selection of Moorefield Construction as General Contractor for the Club’s new downtown Sacramento stadium, a defining step forward in delivering the region’s largest professional sports and entertainment venue.
Moorefield Construction will oversee the project’s workforce, manage subcontractors, and direct the day-to-day building of the stadium that will rise as a new civic landmark and anchor the transformation of Sacramento’s downtown Railyards.

The selection builds on the growing momentum surrounding the project. Earlier this year, the Club announced it will now construct the largest outdoor, professional sports and entertainment facility in the region, set to open in 2028. The project team also includes Pegasus Development serving as the Owner’s Representative, MANICA and House & Robertson Architects serving as the lead design team and architect of record. Lund Construction has already begun procurement and plans to begin infrastructure work in the coming weeks.
“Moorefield’s decades of experience delivering complex hospitality and destination entertainment projects, as well as regional sports projects give us confidence in their ability to execute at this scale,” said Art Zargaryan, Pegasus Development CEO. “What is being built at the Railyards is a civic landmark, and Moorefield has the expertise and the Sacramento roots to bring that vision to life.”

The company has been a key part in several of the region’s premier sports and entertainment builds. Moorefield Construction served as construction manager for the Athletics’ renovation projects including a new clubhouse, stadium upgrades, and a broadcast center that helped bring Major League Baseball to Sacramento. Their 2013 renovation of Hughes Stadium at Sacramento City College connected them directly to Republic FC’s earliest days, when thousands of fans first rallied around their club in 2014.
Beyond the region, Moorefield was responsible for the successful delivery of renovations to the historic TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, gaming and hospitality projects across California, and immersive entertainment experiences like Universal Horror Unleashed – a project Moorefield Construction completed with Pegasus Development.
