Greenville Triumph Pro Soccer
Greater Greenville, SC
On March 13, 2018, the United Soccer League – one of the most respected professional Division II soccer leagues in North America – announced that Erwin Creates has acquired a USL Division III (USL League One) franchise and will bring professional soccer to the Upstate for the league’s inaugural season in 2019. Greenville entrepreneur Joe Erwin leads the ownership group through Erwin Creates; Chris Lewis, former President & General Manager of the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, has been hired as team president and National Soccer Hall of Fame member John Harkes (shown above) will serve as Head Coach and Sporting Director. The ownership group is committed to creating a first-class soccer stadium by building or renovating an existing site and will soon announce a short-term location for its first season, which kicks off in March 2019. The season will consist of approximately 14 home matches and several exhibition matches, and will run from March through mid-September. Announcement of a permanent site is expected to follow in 2019.

In 2017, Erwin Creates became an early investor in this Serrus Capital Partners’ hotel/condo project on Lake Hartwell in Clemson, and lead naming and brand development for this unique and striking property. With 116 residences, hotel services for owners and guests, and meeting/conference/event spaces, Lakeside Lodge Clemson takes the best parts of a hotel — the amenities, the housekeeping, the food, the beverages, the services and responsiveness — and matches it up with ownership and rental potential. All on lakefront property directly across from Memorial Stadium.
