Metro-Detroiters show some spirit for Detroit City FC.

I absolutely love reading about this club and hope they get into MLS eventually. This is the way you grow a team.

 

just for giggles I just sent them a very small check, so they only need $100 million more for MLS

Detroit City FC Statement on Major League Soccer to Detroit Developments
04/26/2016, 2:00pm EDT
By Detroit City FC
DETROIT, MI – While details are forthcoming, recent developments have centered on the possibility of a future bid for a Detroit Major League Soccer franchise led by a group of local investors. In light of this speculation, Detroit City FC would like to make the following statement pertaining to Detroit soccer.

 

Really glad to see that these new owners are looking at and including the already established lower division club in their plans. Smart move to not alienate a very well supported team.

Co-owner of Detroit City FC Sean Mann was just interviewed and he admitted that they've been approached but that does not necessarily mean that Detroit City FC has been included in the plans...

 

At this point, it's pretty obvious that bulldozing DCFC would be a massive failure for any team hoping to appeal to Detroit. I mean, they'll still get fans regardless, but alienating Motor City Supporters and Northern Guard would be a huge mistake. You'd lose, what? Like 1,500 people worth of a supporters group?

To be clear though, if DCFC is on board with this and will be involved, I hope it starts with a jump up to USL first. Since there is no pro/rel, I'm not a fan of starting teams from scratch. Let a market prove itself first

I know that this is over 3 months old so I will apologize in advance, but it is a pretty good video segment about both Keyworth and the DCFC stadium renovation project:

And couldn't take 3 points from a "fake club." Even with the refs letting them use their hands to score.

This week, Detroit City FC begins distributing $107,000 in revenue sharing checks to investors of the first community investment campaign in American sports history.

The payments will be sent to the 492 investors who participated in the grassroots campaign, which raised funds to rehabilitate Detroit City FC’s new home at Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck, MI. The campaign, which launched on October 29, 2015 and closed on February 15, 2016, was open to Michigan residents through the Michigan MILE legislation.

The club aimed to raise between $400,000 and $750,000 through the campaign. The final amount raised was $725,500, making it the largest campaign of its kind in Michigan history.
