GE Vernova Park opens as Greenville Triumph home

In a way, the first home game for the Greenville Triumph takes place today, June 3.

Greenville Pro Soccer kicked off the opening of GE Vernova Park, the first permanent home for the Triumph and the women’s Greenville Liberty team, on June 2.

The stadium at BridgeWay Station in Mauldin is a public-private project that also will be used for community events.

GE Vernova got behind the Upstate soccer scene by taking on a multi-year agreement to hoist its name above the home stadium of the Triumph and Liberty.

The sponsorship underscores GE Vernova’s commitment to supporting the communities where its employees live and work, the company said in November when announcing the relationship. The agreement between Greenville Pro Soccer and GE Vernova was brokered by global sports, music and entertainment company Wasserman.

The stadium will seat 4,300, with a total capacity of 6,300.

The project is a public-private partnership with the city of Mauldin, the state of South Carolina, Greenville Pro Soccer and Hughes Investments.

Until now home games were played first at Legacy Early College and then Furman University.

The first home game at the new stadium is at 7 p.m. against Forward Madison FC. A fan festival starts at 4:30 p.m. with live entertainment, activities and fan experiences at BridgeWay Station Plaza.
