A season ago, a crowd of 8,878 filed into Finley Stadium to watch the Chattanooga Football Club play a National Premier Soccer League semifinal.
The club wants even more fans there this time around.
CFC (16-2-1) will host the Indiana Fire FC at 7:30 tonight with a second consecutive trip to the NPSL title match on the line for Chattanooga. The other semifinal, between the New York Cosmos and CD Aguiluchos USA at Hofstra University Soccer Stadium in Hempstead, N.Y., will also begin at 7:30 p.m.
CFC has taken to social media in hopes of drawing 10,000 in attendance tonight. Hashtags with #9999plusYOU have been seen all over Twitter as the team seeks to break its attendance record set in last season’s 4-1 semifinal win over the Sacramento Gold FC.
Throughout this season, CFC players have stated they have the best fans in the league. Tonight will be their opportunity to show that support one more time.
