CASA GRANDE - An upstart professional football league has chosen a site in Casa Grande for a $20 million training facility that will serve three of the league's six original teams.

The newly formed United Football League plans to break ground on the training site next to the Francisco Grande Hotel & Golf Resort in January. League officials say they plan to build eight playing

fields, four field houses, locker rooms, a training and rehabilitation center, office space and other amenities.

The site is expected to be ready for the opening of the league's first training camp in late summer.

The league expect to play on Thursday and Friday nights during the fall. The three Western U.S. teams will train at the Casa

Grande complex, while the three East Coast teams will train at an unannounced site.
