$5.02. That’s how much tickets to Louisville City and Racing Louisville home games will cost for members of the new 502 Crew. But we should back up — what is the 502 crew?
Meet the crew
Louisville’s professional soccer clubs launched the 502 Crew as a supporter section program designed to “ignite Lynn Family Stadium’s atmosphere and fill the supporter end like never before.”
Members of the crew will get the ability to purchase one of 502 tickets — ringing in at $5.02, while supplies last — the week of Louisville City and Racing Louisville home games. During games, all 502 ticket-buyers will pack the safe-standing, closed side of Lynn Family Stadium called the Estopinal End.
How do I join?
Registration to join the crew is open for both Racing Louisville and Louisville City. Joining is free; all you have to do is fill out a form with your contact information, indicate which team you’d like to join as a 502 Crew member (yes, “both” is an option), and indicate any interest in a leadership or organizing position.
