The sprawling sports campus long known as Town & Country in Wilder, Kentucky has new owners, a new name, and a multimillion-dollar makeover in the works. The 120,000-square-foot facility across two buildings in Campbell County is now the TAC Sports Complex, and new outdoor turf has already been installed as part of the transition.
The property was acquired by NKY Fieldhouse LLC, a real estate partnership led by Covcor Real Estate Investments, according to Local 12. Public property records show the limited liability company purchased the site for $8.57 million on April 10, per the same report. The station describes the complex as a 32-acre indoor and outdoor sports campus serving both Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati.
Josh Niederhelman, principal of Covcor, said the facility has a real history and a loyal base of families, athletes, and organizations, according to WLWT. Niederhelman added that new ownership and management will enable investment in better fields, training space, food and beverage, and the guest experience, the station reported.
New Turf Already Down, More Upgrades Planned
Beyond the freshly installed outdoor turf, the new owners plan training and facility upgrades with better technology, along with a new food and drink program, per WLWT's reporting. NKY Fieldhouse LLC is planning $3 million in facility upgrades overall, the earlier report from the same station noted.
The rebranded TAC Sports Complex currently has open sign-ups for youth and adult indoor soccer winter leagues, according to WLWT. The site's own listing, per The TAC Sports Complex, shows a mix of indoor and outdoor turf fields, indoor courts, outdoor grass fields, and sand courts, alongside both youth and adult league offerings.
A Legacy Dating Back to 1998
Despite the new name, the TAC is honoring the property's Town & Country legacy, according to WLWT. The TAC Sports Complex's own site states it has served local athletes, families, teams, and clubs since 1998, a stretch of history the new ownership is folding into its branding rather than erasing.
The property has changed hands before. The Cincinnati Kings purchased the Town & Country Sports Complex for $11.3 million back in October 2007, according to a release from oursportscentral.com. At that time, the complex was described as home to 5,000 members and more than 500,000 yearly visitors, spread across a 100,000-square-foot facility with five outdoor soccer fields and two indoor fields, the release stated. The 2007 ownership group was led by Cincinnati Kings owner and CEO Yacoub Abdallahi, and the site also served as home turf for Northern Kentucky University's men's and women's soccer programs, per the same release.
