The Westside is set to become the first home of Greenvillle's new pro sports team.

Greenville Triumph Soccer Club has received approvals by the Greenville County Board of Zoning Appeals to make its first home Legacy Early College on East Bramlett Road in the City View community.

As part of the new partnership between Legacy, Greenville Triumph and the City View community, the soccer team will play its home games on the school's field for up to two years.

Greenville Triumph will build a temporary 4,000-seat stadium, a press box, a storage container, and other amenities on the field in time for its soccer season to begin in March.

Triumph chairman Joe Erwin said they looked all over the Upstate for a temporary site for the team, but the field at Legacy was not only the best, but it met all of the requirements.

Erwin has also said he chose Legacy and City View for the opportunity to help shine a light on the good things they're doing in that community.

Legacy Early College is housed in on the site of the historic Parker High School.

William Brown,founder and chairman of Legacy said he is excited that Triumph has chosen his school and City View for this "unique and extraordinary" partnership.

Especially, he said "knowing that the team's mission is to help more people see and appreciate what our Legacy scholars and the neighborhood leaders are actually accomplishing and aspiring to accomplish in our little part of Greenville County."

Brown said he is hopeful that, with the board's approval, the school and the community will begin a relationship with Triumph that extends far beyond the time the team will be on Legacy's campus.

Erwin said they are looking for ways to help Legacy and the neighborhood beyond the time Triumph is there.

One plan is to create an internship with Legacy students for five years, allowing them to learn about such things as sports management and sports branding, Erwin said.

He said there will also be game day job opportunities for people in the neighborhood, such as parking attendants, merchandise sales, ticket sales, ticket takers and more.
