Grinder Sports Group’s plans in Florence are essentially unaffected by another major sports complex coming to southeast Mesa, a top official said Tuesday.
“(We) could not be more excited about what we’re bringing to Pinal County and the town of Florence,” Lyndon Estill, founder and chief operations officer, told PinalCentral by phone Tuesday afternoon.
Estill said he and his associates were expecting the announcement of Legacy Sports Park in Mesa. Legacy, a privately-owned 320-acre multi-use family sports and entertainment complex, will be built next to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport and will open to the public in January 2022, organizers announced.
