Kicking off their 11th season on Saturday, March 14th, Louisville City FC held its first home game of the year. Find out why you should definitely attend a game this season, even if you’re not that into sports.
First off, the vibes at Lynn Family Stadium are immaculate. With a view of downtown and spectacular sunsets, the stadium is fun just to simply hang out in. Not to mention, there’s an incredible Happy Hour before the game even starts. Beers are $3 for the first 60 minutes the gates are open.
In the Fan Zone, you’ll find inflatables, face painting, sponsor activations and more. There’s also a wide selection of food stands serving eats from some of your local favorites, such as Gustavo’s Mexican Grill and Parlour Pizza.
All the things mentioned above are great, but what truly makes the Lou City games are the fans. Upon entering the stadium, you can clearly see how much love the crowd has for the team. The energy is infectious and will get you hyped up by just being near it. Typically divided by UK or UofL, it is refreshing and fun to see the city gathered as one.
The club recently announced its new mascot, Sting the Bee, named in honor of legendary Louisvillian Muhammad Ali. He made his first stadium appearance at the opener, adding even more to the excitement of this new season. Lou City FC truly feels like a love letter to the city of Louisville.
Not only is it fun to cheer on a team with your community, entering and exiting the stadium is as stress-free as it can get. The parking lots are very close to the entrance compared to other sports venues, and the traffic in and out isn’t too bad either. The stadium is also centrally located, making it easy to continue the party to a nearby bar or restaurant.
