The Louisville City Football Club on Tuesday announced a pair of "open house" dates at Slugger Field for would-be season ticket holders to scope out seats for the USL Pro franchise's inaugural 2015 season.

The minor league soccer club set a 5 p.m. Friday deadline for fans to place a $50 season ticket deposit at louisvillecityfc.com, after which they can tour the stadium in its soccer configuration from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Nov. 19 and 4 p.m.-6 p.m. Nov. 20.

Deposit holders will receive emails in chronological order starting Nov. 21 to select their seats, with those who signed up earliest getting the first shot. They have until Nov. 24 to make a selection. The next day, remaining season tickets are released to the general public.

After the Nov. 20 open house, Louisville City FC has scheduled a town hall gathering at Against the Grain (in Slugger Field) where fans can ask questions of head coach James O'Connor and team president Djorn Buchholz.

"And more importantly, this is an opportunity for our fans to help us with the experience on game day," Buchholz said. "We want to hear the great ideas that our fans have and assist in any way we can to make this their team, and their experience."

All Louisville City FC season ticket holders who pay in full by Feb. 1 will join a founding members club, which includes a scarf, name on a plaque insider Slugger Field and access to exclusive team events so long as they maintain tickets, which start at $180.
