Home Team Support: Infinity Park has become a destination that people of all ages look forward to visiting as they enjoy cheering on their home team.
Since opening its gates in 2007, Infinity Park has welcomed tens of thousands of visitors. The first and only municipally-owned rugby-specific stadium in the United States, Infinity Park spans 16 acres (including an eight-acre green open space), features a state-of-the-art gym, a full-sized outdoor training pitch, and a stadium with a seating capacity of 4,000. It is also home to a recreation center and an event center, as well as the American Raptors rugby team.
Located in the heart of Glendale, Infinity Park was built on a bold vision to center the future of the city around the growing sport of rugby. Featuring a multi-purpose indoor/outdoor sports complex, Infinity Park has earned the designation of RugbyTown USA. Along with serving as the American Raptors’ headquarters, Infinity Park has hosted several different international men’s and women’s rugby matches including the 2008 North America 4, the 2009 and 2010 Churchill Cups, the 2009 Americas Rugby Championship, the 2019 Pacific Nations Cup, and all three 2023 Rugby World Cup Qualifiers for the United States men’s national rugby team. The venue was also the United States stop on the 2018- 2019 World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series and is home to the annual RugbyTown 7s tournament.
Local Destination
Beyond rugby, Infinity Park has become a destination that people of all ages look forward to visiting. “We see families, groups of friends, rugby fans, and community members who want to spend time outside and cheer on their home team on a beautiful weekend afternoon,” says Glendale City Manager Chuck Line. “Watching Infinity Park become the heart of our city has been very rewarding.”
Another aspect that sets Infinity Park apart is the local feel it brings to hosted events and provides for the community. Because of the park’s expansive space and Glendale’s welcoming mindset, local recreational leagues, youth leagues, and residents always have a place to practice and compete, gather and interact, or simply hang out.
Local Destination: With a seating capacity of 4,000, Infinity Park continues to draw large crowds for all types of events.
“Infinity Park serves as an entertainment anchor for Glendale and offers the community and beyond the opportunity to enjoy sporting events, movies, and music,” says Director of Infinity Park Operations, Kieran Nelson. “Also, since its inception, the park has garnered a reputation among the international rugby community as a world-class venue, and we could not be prouder to have earned that distinction.”
In addition to the family-friendly environment and welcoming staff, spending time at Infinity Park is affordable as adult tickets for rugby games are $10 and admission for kids 12 and under is free. This spring, Glendale residents are looking forward to watching their home team return from South America to play in the professional SRA league.
