SAN DIEGO – San Diego Loyal SC announced on Friday its inaugural home opener in the USL Championship at the 6,100-capacity Torero Stadium had sold out. The contest against Las Vegas Lights FC, which will be televised nationally on ESPNews at 10 p.m. ET, will have a limited number of walk-up tickets available, including standing room only, that can be purchased on match day at the Torero Stadium Box Office.

“We’re thrilled to see San Diegans embracing this as their club,” said SD Loyal President Warren Smith. “To play our first match in front of a sold-out crowd at Torero Stadium will be a special moment for our players, fans, coaches, front office and everyone who has been involved to get us to this day. This is just the beginning.”

San Diegans have embraced the opportunity to be part of sports history as SD Loyal kicks off its inaugural season. The contest will feature the debut on the sidelines of U.S. soccer legend Landon Donovan as he leads SD Loyal into its first year, while another U.S. soccer legend will be on the opposing sideline with Eric Wynalda leading Lights FC into its third campaign.
