The other day, I was provided the opportunity to attend a Detroit City FC game, and it proved to be an unforgettable experience. Here are reasons why you should attend a game.

First, the pregame begins at the Hamtramck Fowling Warehouse. Aside from being a chance to experience Fowling, the atmosphere is fantastic. Detroiters gathered together to prepare to watch their beloved team take on a regional rival.
Second, when the time comes, the entire population of the fowling warehouse joins together out in front, and marches to the beat of a common drum (literally) through Hamtramck neighborhoods, all the way to the stadium (~5 blocks away).
Next, the atmosphere is rich with the nostalgia of a local sports team with die-hard fans and an intoxicating culture.
The game itself is truly the pinnacle of a sporting experience, from being lead in brutal chants that berate the visiting team and rally Detroit fans, to the reasonably priced local brews, the environment is set up perfectly for success.
Finally when DCFC scores, the smoke-bombs begin – coating the home team stands with maroon and gold firework smoke to celebrate each and every goal.
Overall DCFC is a fantastic local sporting experience that you must enjoy during the summer in Detroit!
