LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Las Vegas Lights FC today announced additional details on a slate of entertaining and exciting evenings at Cashman Field this summer on the club’s theme night calendar.
Entering the midway point of the first summer month, on the field, the club has continued to be focused on continuing to make a postseason push. In order to do so, the Lights have made it a stated priority to secure points at home and make Cashman Field a fortress – a venue at which the Club has a five-pack of home matches in June. Nearing the official halfway point in the USL Championship regular season, the Lights are in the hunt for a first playoff berth and have already amassed a top three winning percentage thus far in Club history. Under new leadership and a new roster, the team’s vision within the painted lines has been creating an attractive brand of soccer that entertains and delivers results.
It is fitting then that the summer also marks the traditional uptick in gatherings for entertainment outdoors with family and friends. Over the course of the summer months, the Lights set out to become a central hub for the Las Vegas community, bringing of course those can’t miss soccer moments while also celebrating theme nights that recognize those in our lives who mean a great deal to us: neighbors, leaders, colleagues, relatives and buddies (including our four-legged pals).
Whether fans have been with the Club since day one, are experiencing it for the first time or are making their way back to the venue to cheer on a club they can proudly call their own, the summer months mark a busy lineup of moments to gather and enjoy the beautiful game.A first opportunity to switch up the traditional workweek – and skip the early-week cooking – happens just next Tuesday. The Lights return home to Cashman Field on June 18 to face the Colorado Switchbacks FC (7:30 p.m. ET) on the heels of a win in their last home match last weekend (June 8). As part of the early-week matchday festivities, the Club is hosting several “Taco Tuesday” specials at Cashman Field, led by $3 carnitas tacos and $5 beers. Fans can purchase the carnitas tacos at both Lights Out Grill locations. Ticketed fans 21 years and older can purchase select 12 oz canned beers throughout the venue at Lights Out Grills, Papa Johns, Deck Bar and Main Bar.
