Managed by Ben Pirmann, DCFC\u2014or <em>Le Rouge<\/em>, as it\u2019s called by fans\u2014 has grown to play in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL).<\/p>\n<p>In the past, DCFC has played all its home games at Cass Tech High School at 2501 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Ave. in downtown Detroit, but it looks like the team\u2019s fan base has grown so much that it needs a larger capacity stadium. This may also pave the way to joining a professional league, according to an official statement from the team\u2019s owners.<\/p>\n<p>DCFC has advanced plans to relocate to Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck, just 6 miles from Detroit. This week, the club\u2019s owners presented a $3 million renovation proposal to the Hamtramck School Board. If approved, the improved 80-year-old stadium would hold around 6,000 people\u2014almost double the capacity of the Cass Tech venue\u2014by next spring, in time for the 2016 National Premier Soccer League season.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed renovation includes structural improvements to the grandstands, updated and refurbished locker rooms, creating a traditional standing terrace for fans, improved field lighting, and installing a grass field.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bigger venue outside the city hopes to entice management and fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":258,"featured_media":1004127316,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1495],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004127320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
