The committee was extremely pleased to receive several attractive bids for the 2008 and 2009 Division I Men’s Soccer College Cup, each presenting exciting opportunities for future participants,” said Noreen Morris, chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Committee, Associate Athletic Director at Northwestern University. “After evaluating the options, our committee felt that Frisco and Cary presented the best overall atmosphere for Division I men’s soccer at this point in time. Frisco is the home of Pizza Hut Park, one of the finest soccer specific facilities in the country. We are excited to take the 2008 College Cup to this venue, which offers fantastic amenities and a surrounding community that is a hotbed for youth soccer. In turn, Cary and SAS Soccer Park are proven players when it comes to college soccer, having hosted four College Cups in the last four years. The partnership between Cary, SAS Soccer Park and the North Carolina State University will enable us to host yet another successful College Cup in 2009 in an area located in proximity to a large segment of tremendous college soccer enthusiasts.”

Cary Looks To Be Capital Of College Cup

Some organizers are vying for a combined super-championship between the men's and women's College Cups

CARY, N.C. — The site of the men's College Cup, which also will host the women's Cup in 2010, has a loftier ambition — to hold a joint championship the same weekend in 2011 or 2012 and eventually to become the Omaha of college soccer. Omaha, Neb., is the permanent home of the baseball College World Series.

The Division I men's and women's soccer committees are considering a three-year pilot program, starting in 2011, for a joint College Cup weekend, and several local and university officials say Cary, a town of 137,483 near Raleigh, will bid to host it at least one year.

Cary would be joined in the effort by the Greater Raleigh Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Capital Area Soccer League and Campbell University, the new host school. N.C. State, the host school this year and next, will end its role after that to focus its staff resources on strengthening its own programs.

The NCAA has already named Cary a "championship city" — along with Indianapolis, Cleveland, St. Louis, San Diego and San Antonio — as part of another pilot program that is bringing seven championships here over four years. In addition to the College Cups, the Division II Baseball Championship will be held in 2010 and '11 at the USA Baseball complex in Cary, and the Division III cross-country and tennis championships are headed here in 2011 and '12, respectively.

But for a joint College Cup, WakeMed Soccer Park would have to be renovated and expanded. The town plans tentatively to spend $5.8 million in hotel occupancy tax money to eventually increase seating from 7,000 to 12,000, build two more locker rooms, add meeting and media space, perhaps even put up a video board.
