“Fort Wayne Football Club opened a new stadium in northeast Indiana. I encourage people to go see a game and support local soccer.”
“Mr. Speaker, the summer of soccer is alive and well in northeast Indiana. Fort Wayne Football Club’s new state-of-the-art stadium recently celebrated its grand opening. Privately funded, Ruoff Mortgage Stadium seats over 7,000 fans and has already become a hub for soccer fans across Indiana. I had the pleasure of attending a game this past weekend and was honored to present the match ball for the Fort Wayne Football Club’s USL Cup match against Detroit City. The passion of the fans and the quality of the players were a reminder of how far soccer has come in our community. With the incredibly exciting World Cup wrapping up in just a few days, I encourage all Americans and all Hoosiers to make their way to a match close to them and especially those in northeast Indiana to cheer on our local club for a great family night out. Fort Wayne is proving that soccer’s future in the United States is bright. I look forward to attending more matches in the years to come to watch some exciting soccer.”
