LOUISVILLE (February 14, 2018) – Louisville City Football Club and the United States Army Garrison – Fort Knox are excited to announce today a planned visit from head coach James O’Connor and the entire LouCity squad to the Fort Knox Kentucky Army Installation in Fort Knox, Kentucky on Tuesday, February 27.
Forming an unprecedented relationship with some of America’s finest, LouCity will arrive for a full day of team-building activities that will allow the squad to experience various military demonstrations as well as test their character in an afternoon session at the Dunagan Team Development Course on-site.
After the day’s activities have come to conclusion, the LouCity squad will be made available for a meet-and-greet with various members of the Army, signing autographs and taking pictures at Fort Knox Turf Field. The team will then participate in an intrasquad scrimmage at the turf facility at 5:00 P.M. before departing Fort Knox.
“We are thrilled to work with the U.S. Army at Fort Knox and to learn more about their accomplishments, and most importantly, to thank them all for their service,” said O’Connor. “This will be an excellent opportunity for the lads to gain some insight on a number of different levels and to work together in such a rare opportunity.”
The evening scrimmage is free and open to the public, and LouCity fans are encouraged to bring their favorite LCFC apparel to be signed by the players and staff. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own seating as bleacher capacity will be limited.
