And they were hoping for 5,000. Wow. If this doesn't fuel the talk about a major league soccer coming to Detroit, what will? Did anyone go to the game? What was it like getting there?

What impresses me is the out-of-the-way lack-of-parking location. I thought that would be a big impediment attendance. Obviously not! Hopefully the neighborhood residents had their chairs out in their parking spots.

"Ownership expected to average about 5,000 fans per match this year, up from last year's 3,528. The semi-pro club raised more than $700,000 from fans to renovate the 80-year-old, 6,000-seat stadium this year after DCFC outgrew its home for its first four seasons, Cass Technical High School.

DCFC's next NPSL match at Keyworth is at 7:30 p.m. June 3 against FC Buffalo.
