Background

The City of Rogers desires to construct a multi-purpose year-round synthetic turf athletic facility that will be used for soccer, baseball, lacrosse, football, walking, and exercise. The anchor of the project is a National Federation of State High School Associations soccer field under a pre-engineered stretched fabric structure. Actual dimensions to be determined during initial concept design. The city hopes to include a full-size soccer field, soccer goals, batting cages, and a play structure.

The Rogers Activity Center is anticipating an expansion that will include a 2nd sheet of ice in the future. The turf facility is intended to be designed such that a future connection to the 2nd sheet of ice is possible.

This is a Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) project.

I've included the details for turf rental rates and availability below.

We encourage all interested groups to submit their requests using the attached Field House Agreement & Request Form by April 11, 2025. Please ensure you indicate your preferred dates and times. We intend to have the allocations complete by May 1. Bookings for non-residents and groups outside the RHS attendance boundary will take place after the initial allocation process.

Please be ready to supply a list of addresses for users for proof of residency before final allocation.

Each group should submit any special events, tournaments, or tryouts that last less than a week and occur annually, as well as ongoing or weekly recurring requests. You may share the schedule with me with the attached application or spreadsheet.

In-season RHS activities will use the MSHSL calendar for activities.

The weekly allocations will use round-robin scheduling to spread the available time to as many Rogers associations as possible.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance with scheduling. We look forward to supporting your activities at the Rogers Activity Center!
