    OFFICIAL GAME DAY PROGRAM VS JUNE 12, 2021 Forward Madison FC vs. Richmond Kickers | Saturday, June 12, 2021 - 7:00PM Breese Stevens Field - Madison, WI Featuring art by local artist Jennika Bastian GAME PREVIEW: FLAMINGOS LOOK FOR HENNY DERBY WIN AS BREESE MOVES TOWARDS FULL CAPACITY Forward Madison to take on Richmond Kickers in first match since 2019 without capacity restrictions USL League One - Game 7 Forward Madison FC vs Richmond Kickers Saturday, June 12, 2021; 7:00 p.m. CT Breese Stevens Field - Madison, WI Forward Madison will welcome back a nearly-full capacity stadium for it’s seventh USL League One match of the sea- son when it hosts the Richmond Kickers on Saturday, June 12. Gates open at 6 p.m. and kickoff is at 7 p.m. CT. Saturday’s game will be the first time Forward Madison has played in Breese Stevens Field without capacity restric- tions since 2019, and anticipation for the game has conjured up fond memories from fans and players alike. Midfield- er Carlos Gomez, who played at Breese while with the Greenville Triumph in 2019, said it was one of the reasons he joined the Flamingos this year. “I’m as excited as the whole team is,” Gomez said. “As a visitor [with Greenville Triumph], I came here a couple of times in the past and the atmosphere was unbelievable. Now I’m really looking forward to feeling that same energy as a player for the home team.” The Flamingos are determined to claim a crucial three points after dropping to fourth place in the USL League One standings following their 2-1 loss to Union Omaha on June 6.

    Draper Aden ENGINEERING THE EXPERIENCE Draper Aden ENGINEERING THE EXPERIENCE ENGINEERING THE EXPERIENCE photo by: Scott Brown/University of Richmond Athletics photo by: University of Richmond Athletics Sports field design is about more than a set of plans; it is about creating the experience of fourth and goal, a penalty kick in overtime, a last second game-winning Hail Mary, a home run in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded, or the celebration of a child’s first victory as part of a youth sports team. Draper Aden Athletics exists to create athletic facilities that provide these breathtaking, edge-of-your-seat moments unique to sports. We engineer the experience for fans, players, parents, and coaches at first class sports facilities where memories are created, dreams are born, and athletic programs flourish. Engineering these experiences, made possible by superior athletic facilities, involves much more than simple field and drainage design. Our personalized approach to planning and development relies heavily on input from owners, coaches, fans, players, and maintenance personnel. Our goal is to create a destination that is right for you, with all of the customized amenities and features to allow those special moments in sports to happen. Before the lights come on, we consider lighting impacts on surrounding neighborhoods, television broadcast requirements, and sport-specific placement. Before the crowd roars, we pay careful attention to parking requirements, access, bleacher placement, and features to enhance the fan experience. Before points are scored, your field must be designed specifically to meet your intended use, for proper drainage and irrigation, and to allow flexibility in layout so that athletes are always playing on a premium surface.

The Independence head into Saturday’s game coming off their first win of the season in Saint Louis and a two-goal, United Soccer League (USL) Player of the Week performance from 2016 MVP Finalist Enzo Martinez. ​ ​ Last Saturday’s victory was not only the first win of the season for the Independence, but the first time in franchise history that the team beat Saint Louis. The Independence fell behind early on a José Angulo goal for Saint Louis in the fourth minute. Later in the first half, Enzo Martinez would ​ ​ ​ ​ add an unassisted goal in the eighth minute and the game-winner in the 29th minute assisted by Yann Ekra. ​ ​ With the Independence playing four of the next six home games away and only two league games in the month of May, it will be important for the club to get points early in the season. The next test for the Independence comes against the Rochester Rhinos, who ended the Independence’s season in the first round of the 2016 USL Playoffs. Head Coach Jeffries understands that there will be some emotions carried over from an emotional ​ ​ 3-1 loss that included three red cards for the Charlotte side. Rochester comes into Saturday’s game on a 2-2 draw with New York Red Bulls II, the reigning USL Champions, in their 2017 home opener.

  • The United Soccer League Is the Largest Professional Soccer League in the United States and Canada, and the World with 29 Teams in 19 U.S
    The United Soccer League is the largest professional soccer league in the United States and Canada, and the world with 29 teams in 19 U.S. states and three Canadian provinces. The USL has more than doubled in size since 2014 and built a stable, highly competitive professional soccer league on a national footprint with strong local ownership groups in major markets positioned for long-term success. The 2016 season marks the introduction of six teams - Bethlehem Steel FC, FC Cincinnati, Orlando City B, Rio Grande Valley FC, San Antonio FC and Swope Park Rangers KC. The USL’s teams are divided into two conferences - Eastern and Western - with each team playing 30 regular season games. In addition to league play, USL teams compete in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup as well as various domestic and international exhibitions. The USL is the longest-standing professional affiliate member of U.S. Soccer. History – The USL (formerly USL PRO) was formed when two existing professional leagues were combined into a single league property prior to the 2011 season. The league was designed to help ensure the long-term stability of professional soccer in North America, and featured 12 teams in a pair of six-team divisions during its initial campaign. Among the league’s founding members were six longtime USL clubs with more than 100 years of operation between them – the Charleston Battery, the Charlotte Eagles, the Harrisburg City Islanders, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, the Richmond Kickers and the Rochester Rhinos. Teams/Schedule – The USL’s 2016 regular season schedule features a 435-game slate kicking off on March 25.
