LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (March 11th, 2015) -- Louisville City FC, the new professional soccer team that will kick off its inaugural season campaign on March 28th at Louisville Slugger Field, announced today the kickoff time for the inaugural season home opener with Eastern Conference rival Saint Louis FC.

"The support from the community has been outstanding to date and continues to grow," Duffy said. "Our home opener will be a key opportunity for our fans to send an important message about the city's ability to embrace a high-level professional team. We want this game to set the standard."

The game on March 28th is one of 14 regular season home games for Louisville City FC.
