As one of Major League Soccer's premier clubs, the Philadelphia Union has built a reputation for developing elite talent through its first team, Union II, and nationally recognized Philadelphia Union Academy. With multiple teams training and competing from the WSFS Bank Sportsplex in Chester, Pennsylvania, the organization required a smarter sports equipment storage solution capable of supporting its growing player development programs. Housing multiple teams within a shared equipment room meant thousands of pieces of gear - including uniforms, soccer balls, cleats, travel bags, field equipment, and training essentials - needed to remain organized, protected, and readily accessible every day. That's where Diversified Storage Solutions stepped in, designing a customized high-density mobile storage system that transformed one shared space into an efficient, high-performance equipment room.
Diversified Storage Solutions partnered with the Philadelphia Union to design a customized storage solution centered around a Spacesaver Standard Mobile Mechanical Assist High-Density Storage System, complemented by Rousseau drawer storage. Working closely with OSports (an architecture, planning, and design firm specializing in sports, recreation, and entertainment facilities) and representatives from multiple teams, the DSS team developed six unique storage elevations to accommodate a wide variety of equipment while maximizing every square foot of available space. Rather than implementing a one-size-fits-all solution, the system was carefully engineered around each team's daily workflow, ensuring every item had a dedicated location while maintaining the flexibility to evolve alongside the organization's future needs.
Today, the installation provides more than 2,700 cubic feet of organized athletic equipment storage, allowing the Philadelphia Union to consolidate gear for multiple teams into one highly efficient equipment room. Jerseys, cleats, travel bags, field equipment, and training gear each have designated, easily accessible storage locations, enabling equipment managers to prepare quickly for practices, matches, and team travel while maintaining a clean, organized environment.
By combining thoughtful planning with flexible high-density storage systems, Diversified Storage Solutions delivered a solution that enhances operational efficiency today while supporting the Philadelphia Union's commitment to developing the next generation of soccer talent for years to come. Because every great play begins with great preparation - and that starts long before the first whistle. Let's Go.
