Ranjitsingh looking for home support boost as LouCity host Eastern Conference Final for first time at Slugger

After making the last two Eastern Conference Finals in its first two seasons, Louisville City FC now gets a shot at hosting the match for the first time, this Saturday night at Slugger Field, kickoff 7:30pm.

It's also a chance for the club to put right the result that did not go their way last season when they lost out to New York Red Bulls II in penalties to fall short of reaching the USL Cup Final.

One thing the team is looking forward to is playing at Slugger and having a big support come out to back the boys in purple and provide that unique Slugger home field advantage.

Following Saturday's hard-fought victory over Rochester, LouCity goalkeeper, Greg Ranjitsingh, said: "It's great to be finally hosting, but we need everyone to come out and get behind the team again this Saturday.

"Playing at Slugger is awesome because the fan support we get is unreal. They rally us until the end every week and keep pushing us and pushing us. That's what we need again this Saturday. We're so happy to be able to play the Conference Final in front of our own fans in that special atmosphere."

LouCity has been perfect through the playoffs at home, and has not conceded a goal in postseason play, defining Slugger as something of a playoff fortress for the boys in purple. A crowd of 6,378 was on hand during the conference final on a Friday evening and another of 7,117 when LouCity overcame Rochester on a cold Saturday night this past weekend. The club has averaged just over 8,600 fans throughout the 2017 regular season. Now the team is hoping to go one better for the first time and are looking for a big turnout to back their efforts on Saturday night.

Tickets are available for the Conference Final starting at just $12 by calling the LouCity ticket office on (502)-384-8799, option 2 of.
