From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Paso Patriots are an American soccer team, founded in 1989. The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and play in the Mid-South Division of the Southern Conference, against teams from Austin, Baton Rouge, Dallas, Houston, Jackson, Laredo and New Orleans.
The Patriots play their home games at Patriot Stadium, a soccer-specific facility in the city of El Paso, Texas. Prior to their stadium being completed in 2005, the Patriots played at the Sun Bowl Stadium on the campus of the University of Texas at El Paso, and at Dudley Field, the former home of the El Paso Diablos baseball team. They are one of the more long-serving franchises in American soccer, having played in the first division A-League until 2003. The team's colors are blue and white.
There has been some talk that El Paso County will build a 14,000 soccer specific stadium in Ascarate Park, and the county may lure an MLS franchise for the brand new stadium there for promoting the Patriots to the MLS.
