It's the day we've all been waiting for! Detroit City FC kicks off their inaugural campaign on Saturday with a game against rivals AFC Cleveland at 7:00 PM. But there's a lot going down before, during, and after the game that we think our fellow supporters should know about.
3:00 PM: We start our pregame affair, with MCS joining the Northern Guard Supporters at Harry's Detroit Bar on Clifford and Henry Streets. There, we will drink, practice our chants, and get ready for the match. Bring your flags, drums, banners, and most of all, VOICES!
We also will have our brand new MCS scarves for sale! They cost $20, and we take cash or credit card on site. See an MCS officer to purchase one.
6:15 PM: We begin our march to the stadium. We will enter Cass Tech stadium very loudly so everyone knows who we are and what we're about. If you need info on where the stadium is, as well as their amenities (and where we're sitting), here's a map provided by DCFC on all the details. Please remember one thing: alcohol is NOT allowed at the stadium, as it is on the property of Detroit Public Schools.
7:00 PM: Kickoff. Le Rouge begins their season against that team from The Mistake by the Lake. We will be chanting throughout the match. You have to be armed with chants to support your club, right? Well, here you go. You can find all our chants supporting DCFC in our designated page, as well as chants heckling Cleveland. Print them out, bring them to the stadium, or you can just memorize them all. We will be singing constantly for the next two hours.
9:00 PM: Win, lose, or draw, we begin postgame by heading over to the Green Dot Stables at Lafayette and 14th. There we will recap the match, drink some more, and celebrate the new beginnings of our club.
Vive Le Rouge!
