Another well-known Jacksonville sports figure will be part of the group bringing USL professional soccer to Northeast Florida in the coming years.

One possibility that I’ve thought since the very beginning of the Jaguars stadium talk — could the USL’s Jacksonville franchise provide an assist?

Pro soccer is scheduled to return to Northeast Florida in two years when the USL men's and women's teams begin playing. It will be the first time for a pro women's team in town. The club continued a listening tour at local breweries where they said they are closing in on a site for their new stadium.

More than 100 Jacksonville soccer fans cheered on the U.S. Men's National team from half a world away at an event hosted by JAX USL, the group bringing a new professional soccer team to town.

That's going to be the issue because they'll have to be taken to a second screening area, just like they do at the airport. Obviously, you're going to get people that that don't want to wear a mask right, never mind at a sporting event.
