Drawing a Beat on soccer in Kennesaw

The frequent speculation about the creation of a major soccer complex at Kennesaw State University is quickly turning into a reality.

The $20 million proposal calls for a cluster of facilities, including an 8,500-seat stadium that is the likely home for the newly revived Atlanta Beat, as well as additional fields.

On Tuesday the Cobb Planning Commission took up a rezoning request that will get the formal process started.

And it gave approval as easy as a penalty kick; the Cobb Board of Commissioners is expected to act on July 21.

Yet Beat owner Fitz Johnson remains shy about saying specifically where in Cobb he wants to locate his new Women’s Professional Soccer franchise.

C’mon, Fitz!
