PITTSBURGH (March 6, 2017) – The Pittsburgh Riverhounds are very excited to announce the 2017 Riverhounds Fan Fest will take place at Highmark Stadium on Sunday, March 19.
Running in conjunction with the club’s final match of the preseason against Duquesne University at noon, this special event will take place following the final whistle in the Highmark Stadium Club Level.
Patrons are welcome to enjoy a buffet catered by Highmark Stadium chefs before settling in for a talk with head coach Dave Brandt. Following Brandt, the 2017 kit reveal will take place. The new kits for this season will be available on-site for purchase – customization orders will also be available and guaranteed ready for pick-up by the regular season home opener on Saturday, March 25.
