Louisville City FC is turning its Saturday home match into a community service opportunity. The club has teamed up with the Kentucky Blood Center to host a blood drive at Lynn Family Stadium, offering fans a free ticket to the game against Indy Eleven for each qualifying donation.
How to claim your ticket
The Bloodmobile will be set up in the stadium parking lot from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Donors who present proof of a scheduled appointment at the box office will receive one complimentary ticket to the 7:00 p.m. kickoff. Walk‑ins are also welcome, though a proof of donation will be required at the box office before tickets are issued.
Eligibility requirements
To give blood, participants must be at least 17 years old (or 16 with parental consent), weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, and be in good health. These standard guidelines help ensure donor safety and the quality of the blood supply.
Additional perks
All donors will receive a Kentucky Blood Center T‑shirt while supplies last, providing a tangible reminder of their contribution to the community’s health. The partnership underscores LouCity’s commitment to civic engagement and highlights the role sports organizations can play in supporting public‑health initiatives.
Why it matters
Blood donations are a critical lifeline for hospitals across Kentucky, helping patients undergoing surgery, cancer treatment, and emergency care. By linking the donation process to a popular local event, LouCity encourages broader participation, especially among younger fans who might not otherwise consider giving blood.
How to sign up
Fans can schedule an appointment through the Kentucky Blood Center’s online portal. The link is provided on the club’s website and social media channels. Those who prefer to walk in can simply arrive during the drive’s operating hours and complete the screening process on site.
Community impact
LouCity’s initiative reflects a growing trend of sports teams leveraging their platforms for charitable causes. By offering a free ticket, the club not only fills seats but also fosters a sense of shared purpose among supporters, families, and local residents.
Whether you’re a lifelong soccer fan or a first‑time donor, the Bloodmobile at Lynn Family Stadium offers a straightforward way to give back while enjoying a night of competitive soccer. Mark your calendar, bring a friend, and help keep Kentucky’s blood banks stocked.
