Why 644 2nd Street works for indoor soccer arena
Indoor soccer needs three things most industrial buildings can't deliver — high clear heights for the ball, big column-free runs for full-size fields, and a building that can support concession stands, locker rooms, and league traffic without the lease eating you alive. 644 2nd Street has them.
- Up to 20.5-foot clear heights in the larger interior runs — enough room for shots, headers, and overhead nets
- 40,000+ contiguous SF available — enough for two full-size 5v5 / 7v7 fields side-by-side, or one large field plus training nets
- 14-foot garage doors at 5 dock + 5 drive-in positions for equipment delivery, league materials, and easy in/out for vendors
- Heavy power ready for full LED court lighting, scoreboard, sound, and HVAC for year-round play
- Ample on-site parking on 1.54 acres — league nights need parking, this building has it
- Minutes from Highway 61 + I-494 — easy reach from St. Paul, Woodbury, Cottage Grove, and the East Metro family suburbs
- $8–$12/SF NNN on big-block lease blocks — half the rate of newer suburban flex
Common use cases
- 5v5 / 7v7 indoor soccer leagues (adult + youth)
- Year-round soccer training academy
- Multi-sport facility (soccer + futsal + lacrosse + flag football)
- Camps + clinics + birthday party host venue
- Local club home field

Frequently asked questions
Is the ceiling high enough for indoor soccer at 644 2nd Street?
Yes — interior clear heights run from 12 feet up to 20.5 feet, with the highest sections best suited to indoor soccer fields, training nets, and scoreboard mounting. Lower-clear sections can be used for locker rooms, concessions, and offices.
Can the building handle league-night traffic and parking?
The property sits on 1.54 acres with substantial on-site parking. The footprint and location handle peak-hour league traffic without the bottlenecks you'd hit at a mall-conversion soccer center.
What kind of investment is needed to build out for indoor soccer?
The building is delivered in industrial as-is condition. Tenant improvements (turf, dasher boards, nets, scoreboards, locker rooms, HVAC zoning) are the operator's scope. We're flexible on TI allowances and lease length for a credit tenant operator.
