Des Moines Menace Announce Move to Mediacom Stadium 

Des Moines, Iowa

The Des Moines Menace today announced a  partnership that will officially make Mediacom Stadium the club’s home field for the 2026 USL League Two season pending final league approvals. In addition, the club will establish a full-time presence on Drake’s campus from May through July for training, competition, and daily team operations.

This partnership unlocks new possibilities for both the Menace, their fans, and sponsors as Mediacom Stadium’s modern design and professional-caliber infrastructure, including a high-resolution video board, digital ribbon boards, and an intimate seating bowl, create what the club believes will be the top matchday experience in Iowa.

“This partnership is a tremendous step for our club,” said Kyle Davy, General Manager of the Des Moines Menace. “Mediacom Stadium offers a game-changing environment. Our players will train and compete in a setting that mirrors, in many ways, the professional ranks, and our fans will be closer to the action than ever before. Beyond just a venue change, we have a lot of new and exciting promotions, partnerships, giveaways, and more planned for 2026. It’s going to be a great summer, and we can’t wait to welcome our supporters to Mediacom Stadium this May.”

The collaboration extends beyond the pitch. Menace players and coaches will live, train, socialize, and prepare on Drake’s campus throughout the season, creating a unified environment designed to support both player development and community connection.

Menace Head Coach Charlie Latshaw III celebrated the move as a major step toward elevating the club's standards. “Mediacom Stadium is one of the top, if not the top-soccer venues in the entire state,” Latshaw said. “It’s setup and technology provide a true professional experience for our players. As we continue developing athletes for the next level, this is the ideal place to call home.”
