Investment Thesis
The Scheels complex is a world-class facility that gives the KC-KS market a significant competitive advantage for hosting tournaments. It is city-owned, so not directly acquirable, but any SYNRGY club in the KC metro would benefit from access. The facility’s quality raises the bar for what a “competitive” soccer complex looks like.
