Monterey Bay FC News Release


Monterey Bay F.C. hosted its first-ever Fan Fest at Cardinale Stadium over the weekend, a night that featured a double header with MBFC2 taking on Project 51O followed by Monterey Bay hosting Oakland Roots SC in a Nor Cal derby to round out the evening.

Meal Deals and Free Treats

Alvarado Street Brewery, Kleinfeld BBQ, R-Truck, and more provided Fan-Fest-goers with exclusive food offers and meal deals, while Mmm Churros! and Coastal Roots offered free cotton candy and snow cones for all.

Fun, Games, & Puppies

Animal Friends Rescue Project brought adoptable dogs to the plaza while 360 Party Photos hosted a 360 video booth in the beer garden. Meanwhile, game stations such as giant Jenga and corn hole accompanied several mini soccer goals as pre-match entertainment for all ages.

"We were so delighted to be a part of MBFC's Fan Fest," said Aliah Ibarra, Volunteer Coordinator at AFRP. "All of our dogs that attended received applications for adoption and some even had multiple interests. We were able to gain new volunteers and fosters who were so excited to be able to engage with us at the event. We hope to be back again soon."

Giveaways Galore and Repping the Union

The first 1,000 fans to visit either Team Shop location received a free MBFC drink koozie while the first 1,000 fans through the gates received complimentary Monterey Marriott noisemakers. Plus, several team-signed Light Fighter-edition jerseys were raffled off for fans in attendance.
