LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The stadium growing east of downtown Louisville is quite majestic when you drive by on Interstate 64 and now the new home of Louisville City FC has a new name.  Lynn Family Stadium  is set to open Spring 2020.  It's not the first stadium to sport the Lynn name.  Dr. Mark & Cindy Lynn Stadium is home to the University of Louisville soccer teams.

"We are thrilled to be able to contribute not only to the development and appreciation of soccer but to the Louisville community as a whole,” said Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn. “We have been fans of Louisville City FC since its inception, so this truly fits what we are passionate about. We could not be more honored in helping Louisville City FC erect a stadium built for soccer where the city can come together to enjoy the fastest growing sport in America." 

“The Lynn Family are the perfect fit for Louisville City because they believe in the same things we do as an organization: family, community and success,” Louisville City FC President Brad Estes said. “We feel fortunate to have a long-term partnership with a naming rights sponsor who aligns with our club’s values.”

Louisville City FC and the Lynn Family have a 10-year partnership. When completed Lynn Family Stadium will hold up to 14,000 fans. Seat selection for Season Ticket Members started last week. The general public will be allowed to purchase season tickets September 9, 2019.
