More than a game: Huntsville City FC adds matchday features at Wicks Family Field

HUNTSVILLE – What do a Cosmic GOAT, Supernova Shoutout, Ring of Fire, cigar box guitar riffs and a Villains Lair have in common?

Well, they’re all a part of the energy and spectacle surrounding Huntsville City FC matches this season.

“When fans come to a match at Wicks Family Field, we want them to enjoy an entire entertainment experience,” said Chad Emerson, HCFC’s managing director business operations. “By adding these new matchday features, we are letting fans get excited and raucous for the Boys in Blue in ways they never have before.”

A half hour before kickoff, fans can join supporters of the Boys in Blue with a supporter march, starting on the concourse of section 213 and wrapping around the entire stadium before ending at the new Villains Lair, where the club’s supporters and drum line will cheer on the Boys in Blue next to the pitch.

Additionally, fans can line the field for up-close views of the teams warming up for the match.

Once warmups finish, fans can get into the match spirit with a pre-game entertainment show led by Marshall the Cosmic GOAT.

Marshall will launch rally towels into the stands to excite the crowd while fans can receive a possible special recognition with a Supernova Shoutout on the videoboard.

Once halftime rolls around, the Yellowhammer Brewing Craft Beer Garden hosts the Beer Garden Halftime Performance featuring live music.

On the field, lucky fans will participate in halftime activities, including the return of Ring of Fire, penalties on Marshall, relay races, and more.

Halftime will conclude with professional soccer’s only cigar box guitar riff as Microwave Dave and other artists will energize the crowd ahead of the second half.

The fun continues after the final whistle with activities such as on-field stargazing, pictures on the pitch, fireworks, and the return of Parties on the Pitch, the first of which will take place after the March 28 home opener.

Young fans can also get into the action more on matchday by joining Marshall’s Cosmic Kids Club presented by Dick’s Sporting Goods. For information, including how to sign up, click here.
