New Mexico United News Release
ALBUQUERQUE, NM Throughout their first season, New Mexico United's fan base fell in love with the team's spectacular theme nights. From thousands of rainbow-colored flags at Pride on the Pitch Night to acrobats and stilt walkers on Meow Wolf Night - a New Mexico United theme night is far from a regular soccer game. Today, the team announced the theme nights for the 2020 season, in anticipation for kick-off at the first home match on March 21.
"Theme nights at our matches are the perfect opportunity to showcase art and sport coming together through the power of community," said Peter Trevisani, majority owner and CEO of New Mexico United. "We want to give fans the chance to express themselves as authentically as possible, and champion the causes they support."
Some fan-favorite themes are back, with some new themes sprinkled throughout the season. Each theme night will feature a few thousand limited-edition flags available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Other programming and details will be announced closer to each match. Dates for each night are below:
March 21 - Opening Night
May 23 - Military Appreciation Night *
June 10 - Pride on the Pitch
August 9 - Meow Wolf Night
August 30 - 'Fan's Choice' Theme Night *
