A $60 million indoor sports complex is rising on Eatherton Road in Chesterfield Valley, with a targeted opening of August 2026.

The CarShield Sportsplex, a 325,000-square-foot facility on 33 acres, will feature four indoor turf soccer fields, two ice rinks, team locker rooms, a restaurant, a pro shop, and three outdoor soccer fields, according to CarShield AAA Hockey & Futbol Club, which announced the timeline on social media. A groundbreaking was held Oct. 23, 2024.

The complex joins a stretch of Eatherton Road that has accumulated an unusual concentration of youth sports facilities. The Beal Center, the 97,000-square-foot indoor basketball and volleyball facility named after NBA star Bradley Beal, already draws more than one million visitors annually and operates near capacity year-round. On weekends, 2,500-plus athletes and 4,000-plus family members pack the building.

Across the road, the Chesterfield Valley Athletic Complex generated $5.65 million in tournament economic impact in June 2025 alone, according to city Parks Department data, hosting Perfect Game baseball, CBSA, and Top Gun Events tournaments. Through the first half of 2025, CVAC's tournament impact totaled $13.8 million.

And the corridor keeps growing. In January 2025, Chesterfield City Council approved rezoning for a 19.5-acre outdoor complex proposed by India Sports Association LLC, located adjacent to the CarShield site. The project's five-phase plan calls for cricket fields, pickleball courts, and sand volleyball courts over roughly two years, though no construction timeline has been publicly confirmed since the approval.

Council member Gary Budoor (Ward 4) noted during the January vote that Chesterfield has already produced two international cricket players. "Some people may not be aware of this; this is the second most played sport in the world," Budoor said. "One hundred and fifty countries are playing the game of cricket." One of those local players, a Marquette High School student, was competing in Malaysia at the Cricket World Cup Under 19 at the time of the vote.

Council member Merrell Hansen (Ward 4) called Chesterfield "a place that's known for being almost a youth sports mecca" and said the new complex would be a big contributor.

A traffic study by the Lochmueller Group found the CarShield Sportsplex won't negatively impact Eatherton Road traffic, though it recommended widening the eastern half to three lanes along the site's frontage. Field lights at both new complexes are capped at 70 feet, subject to Spirit of St. Louis Airport approval, and playing fields cannot be illuminated past 10:30 p.m. except to finish a game already underway.

If the CarShield Sportsplex hits its August target, families will have ice, soccer, basketball, volleyball, cricket, pickleball, and sand volleyball all within a mile of each other on Eatherton Road.
