Future Legends Complex is a 118-acre (48 ha) sports park that is under construction in Windsor, Colorado.[3]

On November 30, 2020, the Orem Owlz announced that they would move to Windsor and play as the Northern Colorado Owlz starting in the 2021 season.[4] In January 2021 they moved their start date to 2022.[5]

It was also announced in January 2021 that Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC, a new soccer team in USL League One, will debut at Future Legends Sports Complex in 2022.[6]

Construction[]

The original contractor for the entire project was Hensel Phelps Construction out of Greeley, Colorado. Hensel Phelps had completed grading of the site, as well as construction of two multipurpose fields, and preliminary parking lot work.[7] As of June 2021, however, construction had been halted as the United States Department of Agriculture ordered construction to be halted in order to conduct environmental and historical studies on the location.

The USDA later ruled that no preservation work was necessary and that construction could resume. During this time, the general contractor changed from Hensel Phelps Construction to Jaco General Contractor of Wichita, Kansas.[1] According to social media for the complex, foundation work had commenced by August 2021.

Despite the delay, the ballpark is still expected to open in 2022.
