Your Guide to Attending a Detroit City FC Match

Story by max white.

Detroit City Football Club (DCFC) is going into its 11th season as Detroit’s soccer club.

Also known as Le Rouge, which is French for “The Red,” going to a DCFC game is an experience unlike any other in the City of Detroit.

2023 is also the second season for DCFC in the USL Championship, the second tier of professional soccer in the United States, just under Major League Soccer. Last season, Le Rouge made the playoffs in their first USL Championship season.

What started in 2010 as some people playing soccer on a pitch on Belle Isle has grown to thousands of fans attending games at a historic stadium in Hamtramck – Keyworth Stadium.

Attending a DCFC game at Keyworth is unlike any other sporting event you’ll go to, and it’s something everyone should check out. Between the men’s and women’s teams, there are at least 20 home matches people can attend this year.

If you’re planning on going to a match, we have a guide to how you should spend the day between Detroit and Hamtramck, celebrating Le Rouge.

Before the Game

One place to hang out a few hours before the game is the Detroit City Fieldhouse . It’s located at 3401 E. Lafayette and is just over a mile east of Downtown Detroit. It’s home to a ton of different soccer leagues, and the Detroit City Clubhouse, a soccer bar and restaurant.

While you’re there, drink some Stroh’s beer or other local craft beer, try some of the different hand pies, and grab some Le Rouge merchandise from the store inside the clubhouse.

After that, you can head for a walk along the Detroit Riverfront if you want to take a break, or head toward Eastern Market on the weekend to see what’s going on. While you’re there, you can check out Thomas Magee’s Sporting House and Whiskey Bar, another great place for soccer fans to try some special whiskeys from around the world and catch the best soccer matches.

Another option is to head to Downtown Detroit and check out some of the different sports bars in the city . There’s Harry’s Detroit, right near Little Caesars Arena , the Detroiter Bar, or any of the bars and sportsbooks at the three different casinos. That’s where you can see all of the action happening from around the country.

The March to the Match is one of the coolest experiences in all of Detroit sports. The Fowling Warehouse in Hamtramck is the official pre-match bar of DCFC, and is the perfect place to get the party started.

Located less than a half a mile from the stadium, the Fowling Warehouse is a great place for drinks and fun ahead of the game. You can bring in your own food, try a few local beers, and check-in on the Detroit Brew Trail , then play fowling ­– an incredibly fun combination of football and bowling.

If you’re up to it, the Fowling Warehouse also has a mystery beer vending machine, where you can get a mystery beer for $2 or $4.

Then, gather with the hundreds of other fans and take off on the March to the Match, which goes from the Fowling Warehouse, through the streets of Hamtramck to Keyworth Stadium. There are fans, flags, smoke, drums, chants and so much more. It’s something everyone should experience at least once.

At the Match

After finishing the March to the Match and arriving into Keyworth Stadium, you’ll feel the sense of pride continuing for Le Rouge. No matter how many people you’re with or their ages, there are things to do for everyone at the game.

Most of the seating is general admission, and on the east side of the stadium, you’ll see the standing supporter section which is filled with the die-hard DCFC fans. If you’re up for it, it’s a fun experience that includes fun chants, dances, and a ton of colorful smoke. So much that it sometimes stops the game.

There are also plenty of food options at the game. Instead of the concession stands you’re used to at other professional stadiums, you’ll find nearly a dozen different food trucks at Keyworth Stadium for DCFC games. Those can often include Amicci’s Pizza, Balkan House, Royal Kabob, Slow’s 2 Go, Nosh Pit and many more.

There are also former shipping containers that have been turned into stands for beer, whiskey, Faygo and more. It’s all about Detroit and Michigan at a DCFC game.

Parking is also very easy for the game if you don’t go to the march to the match. They have a variety of options, including free parking at the Hamtramck Town Center, less than a half-mile from the stadium, pre-paid parking at some different lots, and more. Avoid residential street parking on some of the streets, reserved for residents only.

After the Game

If you’re in town or ready to have some more fun after the game, then it’s time to head back to Downtown Detroit to check out some of the different bars or grab some late-night snacks .

You can’t beat a coney at either Lafayette or American , located right next to each other just a block away from Campus Martius Park . You can also head to Checker Bar, where you can get a Detroit original burger or try their pizza. Make sure you add the shoestring fries.

If you’re looking for some cocktails, be sure to check out Candy Bar , inside the Siren Hotel . It has a candy-pink colored décor, with different martinis and cocktails.

There’s also Bad Luck Bar , located through an alley in Downtown Detroit. They are reservation-only, so make sure to plan ahead of time.

If you want to try something different, check out The Shelby, which is inside the basement of a building and even inside a bank vault. You have to go through Coffee Down Under, a coffee shop, to get there.

DCFC wants new Southwest stadium to connect community

Detroit City Football Club wants to demolish an abandoned Southwest hospital for the site of the club's "forever home."

Driving the news: The club held an owners meeting at Supergeil in Corktown on Monday to celebrate plans for a new stadium and answer questions from part owners.

• Detroit City announced last week after Crain's broke the news that the club plans to build a soccer stadium at the site of the abandoned Southwest Detroit Hospital.

Catch up quick: The team, founded in 2012, played its matches at Cass Tech before moving to Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck.

• Executives said bringing a new stadium to Southwest is "the ultimate way to give back to the city."
• The hospital, which opened in 1974, closed in 1991 and has been abandoned for two decades after it reopened as United Community Hospital from 1997-2006.

What they're saying: "We took a different approach to how you build a professional sports team in America and we're viewing how you build a stadium in the same light as well," CEO Sean Mann said.

• "I feel like we have found the perfect site for the future long-term home of soccer in Detroit."

Zoom in: Executives said they hope the stadium works as a bridge to connect communities. The stadium on the 7-acre site will unite activity on Michigan Avenue and in Mexicantown so that match days involve second places, they said.

Between the lines: But club officials said they have been careful not to overdeliver.

• "We're sports fans in this town and we understand that you don't talk about things until they're done right and until they're going to happen," chief commercial officer Alex Wright said. "We respect our fan base, community and partners too much to go down the realm of speculation."

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
