Las Vegas (NV) --

“What Happens Here, Only Happens Here.” -- New Visit Las Vegas campaign slogan.

Just as our community slogan suggests, Lights FC embraces doing things that only occur in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Lights FC announced today that its home match on Saturday, July 11th will be a “Midnight Match.” The match against Orange County SC will then kick-off at 11pm with a special midnight celebration at halftime.

The original concept of “midnight” sporting events started with the former Las Vegas Wranglers professional hockey team which produced the wildly successful tradition locally years ago. Lights FC is re-starting the local tradition and bringing it for the first time ever to professional soccer.

“Lights FC is for Las Vegas, by Las Vegas, of Las Vegas,” said Lights FC Owner & C.E.O. Brett Lashbrook. “We live in such a unique community and so many locals have to work during our typical 7:30pm kick-off times so this is a perfect way to play a game at a time so that those individuals can now attend -- and, well, for us to create a new kind of fun at our Saturday night soccer parties!”
