North Carolina FC News Release


Cary, N.C. (October 18, 2016)- The RailHawks are back at home for a crucial match on Saturday, Oct. 22 at WakeMed Soccer Park as they host Minnesota United FC at 7:30 p.m. With two regular season games left and Omar Bravo back from injury, the RailHawks look to earn three points to get one step closer to securing the fourth and final NASL playoff spot. Saturday night's match is Fan Appreciation Night and Diversity Night, making the final home game of the 2016 Season one that cannot be missed.

Fans are encouraged to arrive at the stadium early for an array of activities organized just for them as a "Thank You" for their continuous support. Here are some of the things fans can expect: Get exclusive giveaways when you arrive: The first 2,000 fans at the game will receive a complimentary team poster of the 2016 RailHawks team and a 10th Anniversary Commemorative Cup. As always, fans will have a chance to get autographs from their favorite players at the end of the game.

Check out the Food Truck Rodeo and live DJ: Additionally, there will be six food trucks at the Far Post Beer Garden including Bulgoki Truck (Korean/ Korean fusion), Arepa Culture (Arepa/gluten free and vegetarian options), CJ's Street Food (gourmet tacos/Korean BBQ), Backyard Bistro (various BBQ), Bam Pow Chow and Kilgores Donuts. Fans can enjoy a beverage, a live DJ, foosball and corn hole at the Far Post Beer Garden. Focus on diversity: Saturday is also Diversity Night, and the RailHawks will be presenting Equality NC with a check from the club's auction of 10 West Ham United jerseys at half-time as a show of the club's dedication to inclusion, diversity and acceptance. Stay late for the fireworks: After the game, fans will be permitted on the field at WakeMed Soccer Park for a fireworks show. We ask that all fans go to the southeast or southwest corners (between sections 301-208 and 110-201 respectively) to access the field.

Lend a helping hand: Now through Saturday's game, the Carolina RailHawks are collecting food and supplies donations for Hurricane Matthew relief. Half of all donations will be given to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina and half will be donated to Frantz Children Foundation which provides relief to Haiti and was founded by a friend of RailHawks midfielder James Marcelin. Donations can be dropped off at the box office located at 101 Soccer Park Drive in Cary, N.C. Read more about the Hurricane Matthew Food Drive here lect-items-for-hurricane-matthew-relief) .
