A new home for a night out in Kalamazoo.
Soisson-Rapacz-Clason Field at Mayors' Riverfront Park is being rebuilt around the game. The field of play stays exactly as it is. Everything around it does not. New turf gathering areas put you right on top of the action, new spaces to meet up, and a matchday that feels less like a fixture and more like a festival.
Beer gardens
Local pours and cold taps, a few steps from the pitch.
Food truck alley
A rotating lineup of Kalamazoo food trucks, all in one place.
Live music
Sets before kickoff and after the final whistle, so the night keeps going.
Closer to the action
New turf gathering areas right up on the touchline. You are in it, not just watching it.
This isn't just a soccer club. It's a night out, built from the ground up for Kalamazoo.

Good to know.
How does the $50 deposit work?
Put down $50 per seat now. When tickets go on sale after the November 5 reveal, deposit holders pick seats first, in the order deposits came in. Your full $50 goes toward any 2027 ticket plan or single match tickets. Reserve your spot here.
Is the deposit refundable?
No. The deposit is non-refundable, and the full $50 is applied toward your 2027 ticket plan or single match tickets. It is a deposit, not an admission ticket.
When will tickets go on sale?
After the club reveal on November 5. Deposit holders get first access, then people on the list, then the public. Full plan details and pricing are on our tickets page.
Where can I see the Top 5 names?
The Top 5 shortlist went public on October 15. Follow @kzoosoccerclub on Instagram and Facebook to see them, and join the list to be first for the final reveal.
When is the club revealed?
November 5. That is the day the name, the crest, and the colors all go public for the first time. If you are on the list or have a deposit in, you will be among the first to see it.
Does the most-submitted name automatically win?
No. This was never a public vote. The community's ideas shaped the Top 5 shortlist, and the club makes the final call from there. A great idea matters more than a popular one.
Are the men's and women's teams part of the same club?
Yes. This is one club with two teams. They share the same name, the same crest, the same colors, and the same identity.
What is USL?
The United Soccer League is one of the largest soccer organizations in the country, running leagues nationwide. Our men's team will play in USL League Two and our women's team in the USL W League. Both are elite pre-professional platforms that develop top players and build real matchday atmosphere.
When does the first season begin?
The inaugural season kicks off in May 2027, with both teams playing their first matches that year. More on the schedule will come as we get closer.
Where will the teams play?
At Soisson-Rapacz-Clason Field at Mayors' Riverfront Park, right here in Kalamazoo. The field of play stays as it is, and everything around it is being rebuilt for matchday. More details will keep rolling out this fall.
What's matchday actually like?
A festival as much as a match. Think beer gardens, a food truck alley, live music, and new gathering areas that put you right on the action. Come for the soccer, stay for the night out.
Does joining the list cost anything?
No. Joining the list is completely free, and you can leave at any time. The $50 deposit is separate and optional.
I have a question that isn't here.

Who is behind the club?
Kzoo Soccer is the working name of Kalamazoo's new men's and women's soccer and entertainment club, launching May 2027 in USL League Two and the USL W League. It is led by Brian Colopy and Aaron Guerrero, sports and event veterans focused on delivering world-class soccer, a top-tier fan experience, and premier community events. The community helped shape the name, with the full identity revealed November 5.
