MediumMedium significance — notable action worth trackingThe Hillside Park soccer field represents corporate-funded conversion of a public park asset — a tennis court replaced by an artificial turf soccer field — through a Street Soccer USA partnership backed by Visa and Bank of America. Worth examining how the programming rights, maintenance obligations, and branding terms are structured in the agreement between the city and Street Soccer USA.
