DETROIT – The full 2015 schedule for Detroit City FC was released to the public on Monday morning.
"At last, our supporters have the chance to start planning their summers," said DCFC co-owner Alex Wright. "Along with the NPSL schedule, we are excited to announce that we are adding an additional friendly to our home schedule, making our season ticket package good for nine home games instead of eight. We will be announcing opponents for two of the three friendlies today, but we are waiting on the third, which we expect to be against a very high-profile club."
