PROVIDENCE – Rhode Island FC is now officially seeking a new temporary home for its inaugural season. Mike Raia, spokesman for the team, told WLNE-TV CBS 6 Wednesday that, '[Rhode Island FC's] plan is to play in a temporary venue for the entire inaugural 2024 season. An announcement on a temporary facility will be made when details have been finalized.' The move is not surprising. The Rhode Island Current reported April 4 that Rhode Island F.C. Team President Brett Luy hinted about the temporary relocation in a letter to season ticket holders last month due to financing woes slowing the $124 million Pawtucket soccer stadium project at Tidewater Landing, where the new United Soccer League team is supposed to play.
