OKC Energy FC News Release
OKLAHOMA CITY - OKC Energy FC hosts the Seattle Sounders FC 2 on Saturday, April 18, at 7 p.m. at historic Taft Stadium in Oklahoma City. The home opener for Energy FC comes following two road matches where OKC finished 1-0-1 with four points.

Energy FC enters the contest after more than a week off following a dramatic 2-1 win over the Colorado Switchbacks FC on April 4. Seattle enters Saturday night's contest coming off its first loss of the season, a 4-3 defeat to the Tulsa Roughnecks FC Thursday night in Tulsa. Energy FC is tied for the league lead in fewest goals allowed this season (2). Seattle leads the league in goals scored (13).
Taft Stadium was constructed in 1934 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project and is owned by Oklahoma City Public Schools. The stadium hosted professional football games in 1968 as home of the Oklahoma City Plainsmen of the Continental Football League. Professional soccer's Oklahoma City Slickers also hosted games there in 1982-1983, and (as the Oklahoma City Stampede) in 1984. The current renovation to the facility costs in excess of $12 million.
