Detroit City FC News Release


DETROIT, Michigan - The Detroit City Football Club announced its first-ever pre matchday sellout of Keyworth Stadium ahead of Saturday's fixture against the El Paso Locomotive. The match is the USL Championship's first-ever regular season game to air on ESPN.

Kickoff on Saturday is set for noon with gates opening at 10:30 a.m. To mark the early start for the nationally televised match, the Club will have special matchday features including DCFC themed donuts from Yellow Light Donuts, games, a dj, and special brunch items from the regular matchday food truck vendors.

Detroit City will appear on a national broadcast for the second time this season. April 15's fixture against Birmingham Legion at Keyworth - a 1-0 victory for Le Rouge - aired on ESPN Deportes.

Le Rouge announced a season-high attendance of 7,011 last time out against Sacramento Republic. Detroit City listed capacity at Keyworth for the 2022 season at 7,231.

Saturday marks just the second time that Le Rouge has announced an official sellout prior to kick-off at Keyworth. During the 2017 NPSL playoffs, DCFC sold out for the national semifinals against Midland-Odessa on matchday. The attendance was announced at 7,553.
