Early Access. Strategic Positioning. Lasting Impact.
Green Zebra Midwest Sports & Entertainment District is creating opportunities for visionary brands, technology companies, and strategic organizations to participate in the development of a new sports and entertainment destination in Newton, Iowa.
Designed around the growth of women's sports, the district brings together year-round competition, family entertainment, hospitality, retail, and connected experiences. Our Founding Partners program is designed to establish long-term relationships with organizations that share our vision for advancing women's athletics, building stronger communities, and creating meaningful commercial opportunities.

A 24-Month Phased Development Vision
Building the Future. Activating Opportunities Along the Way.
Green Zebra Midwest Sports & Entertainment District is envisioned as a 24-month, phased development, with individual facilities, experiences, and programs opening as construction milestones are completed. Rather than waiting for the entire district to be finished, our goal is to introduce opportunities throughout development — working alongside Founding Partners, educational institutions, technology companies, sports organizations, and community stakeholders.
Each phase creates new opportunities to participate, learn, experience, and grow.
Development Timeline
Phase 1 — Site Preparation & Infrastructure
Phase 2 — Core Venue Construction
Phase 3 — Activation & Programming Launch
Phase 4 — Full District Opening
The 24-month timeline is a development objective, not a guaranteed completion schedule. Individual openings and programs will depend on financing, construction, regulatory approvals, infrastructure readiness, and partner agreements.
Experiences Beyond the Fields
Where Sports, Education, Technology & Community Converge
While women's sports are at the heart of Green Zebra Midwest, our vision extends far beyond athletic competition. The district is being designed as a destination where sports, education, technology, workforce development, sustainability, hospitality, and entertainment come together.
Sports Performance & Athlete Development
Opportunities to showcase athletic performance technologies, training systems, player development, sports science, and educational programming for athletes, coaches, and families.
Solar Energy Park & Sustainability Education
A proposed solar energy park could serve as both an energy resource and an educational destination — providing opportunities for demonstrations, renewable energy education, sustainability workshops, and hands-on learning experiences for students, educators, businesses, and visitors.
Education & Workforce Opportunities
Working with educational institutions, workforce organizations, and Founding Partners, Green Zebra Midwest envisions programs introducing students and adults to careers in sports management, hospitality, technology, renewable energy, digital media, facility operations, and related industries.
Technology & Innovation Experiences
Founding Technology Partners will have opportunities to demonstrate emerging technologies and practical applications in a real-world destination environment — including connected facilities, intelligent operations, digital media, athlete performance systems, interactive learning, and visitor engagement.
Hospitality, Entertainment & Community
As development progresses, the district is envisioned to introduce additional opportunities for dining, retail, entertainment, community gatherings, and family experiences that complement sports programming.
Founding Partners: Helping Shape the Destination
More Than a Name on a Building.
Our Founding Partners are envisioned as organizations that contribute expertise, resources, technologies, educational opportunities, and memorable experiences that help bring the district to life. Through phased activation, Founding Partners may participate in demonstrations, educational programming, technology showcases, workforce initiatives, and destination experiences as facilities and infrastructure become available.
Build the Foundation Once. Activate It Over Time.
Green Zebra Midwest is designed around a long-term vision: create a strong destination foundation and introduce new experiences, technologies, partnerships, and opportunities over time.
