DETROIT, Aug 12, 2025 ~ Detroit City Football Club (DCFC) will be getting a brand new home called AlumniFi Field in Southwest Detroit, which will open at the start of the 2027 USL Championship season.
Detroit City FC CEO Sean Mann emphasized that the project is about more than just football. It will be the only privately owned and financed professional sports stadium in the city.
“As longtime residents of the city, the leaders and founders of the Club view this stadium not only as an opportunity for our organization and sport, but as a civic endeavor to give back to the city we love,” Mann said in a press release. “Through our partnership, AlumniFi has been working with us on a shared vision for a stronger, more connected Detroit, creating an environment where everyone from youth to adults can thrive.”
