Crystal Palace Baltimore News Release
Baltimore, Md. - Crystal Palace Baltimore, Baltimore's professional outdoor soccer team, is pleased to announce their next four home fixtures will be played at the Maryland SoccerPlex. These games will be:

The Germantown location began as a response to local soccer clubs advocating for a high-quality, multi-field soccer facility. Twelve years later, with the help of a public-private partnership, and the sweat and capital of nine local soccer organizations, the SoccerPlex opened in October of 2000. It is currently home to the Washington Freedom of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) and DC United's US Open Cup games.
The complex boasts nineteen, 115x75 yard fields and has 600,000 visitors a year. The SoccerPlex's crown jewel, the Championship Stadium, seats 5,200 fans and has hosted, amongst other events, a CONCACAF Champions League game and a US Olympic qualifier.
"It's a phenomenal opportunity," said Palace Baltimore President, Pete Medd. "We are really excited about the prospect of playing in this top-notch facility. We will be able to play our brand of soccer for some amazing soccer-crazy fans. It's a fantastic option and it'll be great for the players and the fans."
The Maryland SoccerPlex is located at 18031 Central Park Circle, Boyds, MD 20841.
