The Season Kick-Off Event will feature a night of activities and interactions with the club’s fan favorites and newcomers alike, on hand to meet the best fans in MLS.

In addition, eMLS League One Series champion FCC Fiddle will be on hand to challenge fans at FIFA20. Plus, a selection of exclusive FCC merchandise offerings will also be available to attendees as DJ BSP spins tunes throughout the theater.


Tickets to the event are limited by venue capacity and reservations are expected to reach capacity quickly. Season Ticket Members are strongly encouraged to reserve their tickets as soon as possible to secure their spots at the event.


Those Season Ticket Members who successfully reserve tickets will receive an email confirmation.
