When neighbors Wes Pingelton and Steve Barton bought Soccer Spectrum in 2021, the bustling soccer hub founded in 1989 by the Mungioli family, they committed to preserving its spirit while building a sustainable future.
Soccer Spectrum boasts leagues for all ages.
“We have a banner we pay for at J.J. Pierce [High School] that says ‘We take [people] from two years olds until you die.’” Barton said. “Until you lack oxygen; that's our age range.”
The details: When Pingelton and Barton bought Soccer Spectrum, which Barton called “the soccer mecca for North Texas,” there were many things they didn’t change. They prioritized changes to allow for growth, including building an outdoor turf field featuring 7-versus-7 fields.
“On most nights, our average age is 35 to 40. You want exercise but you’re not trying to run a marathon,” Pingelton said. “The field, from a soccer perspective, is meant for good exercise and lots of goals, which equates to a lot of fun and a good experience.”
