An Afternoon at @rhodeislandfc, through the lens of @clubeleven 🎥

“Back in 1922, Rhode Island made history by opening the first-ever soccer stadium in America. This past weekend—over a century later—Rhode Island FC inaugurated the latest one in the country, ushering in a new era for soccer in the state and the region.

Nestled in between the quaint Woodlawn neighborhood of Pawtucket and the tranquil banks of the Seekonk River, this brand-new, 10,000-seat stadium perfectly blends the charm of a lower-league European ground with the quintessential character of New England.

Thousands of fans gathered in the early spring sun savoring lobster rolls and local bevs, as the palpable excitement of witnessing the birth of a new soccer chapter in the Ocean State flooded from stand to stand. And they weren’t disappointed by the spectacle. Helicopters and tifos and fireworks, oh my!

A 90 second downpour brought about the highlight of the day, though, as a rainbow appeared over the stadium right before the final whistle—a sign, perhaps, to the club and its passionate supporters, that soccer in Rhode Island, and across America, is headed in the right direction.”
