Lynn Family Stadium gates will open at 5 p.m. on October 30 for happy hour specials on beer, Pepsi products and Fireball. Families are also encouraged to kick off Halloween weekend with LouCity. Kids ages 14 and under in costume will receive free admission, and bags will be provided for a complimentary trick-or-treat on the concourse starting at 5:30 p.m.
LouCity will be making its unprecedented 12th consecutive appearance in the USL Championship Playoffs. The Top 8 clubs from the Eastern and Western conferences qualify for the single-elimination bracketed tournament, with the Top 4 earning the right to host in the Conference Quarterfinal round.
LouCity has clinched the Eastern Conference’s No. 4 seed. A playoff opponent — one of Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC, the Hartford Athletic or Miami FC — will be determined by this weekend’s results as the regular season closes.
Should LouCity advance, home-field advantage will continue to be awarded to the better-seeded team on a round-by-round basis throughout the single-elimination playoffs.
LouCity’s looking to add to a decorated playoffs history that includes consecutive league titles in 2017 and 2018, plus Eastern Conference crowns in 2019 and 2022. City also won the Players’ Shield — the Championship’s regular season title — in 2024 and 2025. The club added its first USL Cup to the trophy case earlier this season.
