LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville City FC’s second appearance in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup will look different than the 2015 version. U.S. Soccer announced on Wednesday that LouCity will host the winner of May 11’s first round meeting between the Michigan Bucks (PDL) and Detroit City FC (NPSL).
The second-round match, hosted by LouCity, will be played on May 18 with a 7 p.m. kickoff at Owsley B. Frazier Stadium on the campus of Bellarmine University in Louisville.
