Rowdies hosting Independence Day Celebration July 6 with parachute demo, concert

Tampa Bay Rowdies are hosting the club’s largest event of the season – the Independence Day Celebration – Thursday, July 6, at Al Lang Stadium as the Tampa Bay Rowdies take on FC Cincinnati.

Kickoff is at 8 p.m.

The night will begin with the U.S. Special Operations Command Parachute Demonstration Team, widely known as the Para-Commandos, delivering the American Flag to the field from an altitude of 12,500 feet.

Para-Commandos are comprised of U.S. Special Operations Command personnel headquartered at Tampa’s MacDill Air Force Base. Most members are combat veteran special operators from the U.S. Army Special Forces or Rangers, the U.S. Air Force’s Special Tactics Squadrons, U.S. Navy SEALs, or U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations Raiders.

After the match, fans will enjoy a free concert by Kool & the Gang, presented by Big Storm Brewing Co., the Rowdies’ official craft beer partner and brewer of Kick in the Grass – a light, refreshing Pilsner style lager.

The multiple-platinum selling Kool & the Gang will get fans moving with top hits including “Celebration,” “Fresh” and “Get Down on It.” Kool & the Gang has sold more than 70 million albums worldwide and performed continuously for the past 35 years, longer than any rhythm and blues group in history. More of their smash hits include “Jungle Boogie,” “Too Hot” and “Fresh.”

The concert is included with the purchase of a match ticket. Tickets for the Independence Day celebration are available online or by calling (727) 222-2000.

Comment about guerrilla marketing for Orlando City and Tampa Bay Rowdies. (reddit.com)

Comment from SoccerForEveryone: "Can I say a unpopular opinion? Guerrilla marketing by the fans. I'm going to spill it starting July and I saved up for this project I'm launching a all out guerrilla marketing campaign in Florida with the help of graffiti artists and photographers we are going to plaster Rowdies and Orlando City murals throughout Tampa and Orlando. Also get incredible artistic posters plastered across the state for each team. I'm doing this because I believe Floridian soccer can be maximized, but people in the FO are either lazy or not creative enough to even think of this strategy. This includes getting a Rowdies or OCSC flag in every sports bar establishment possible, corporate or family owned. I'm not waiting on the front office anymore, I'm taking the matter into my own hands with this one. I believe if this works then hey it could be a central plan to not only help MLS Texan teams get the people aware of their teams but other MLS teams as a whole."

Column City likely will miss out on MLS if SoccerCity vote is delayed

It is possible Major League Soccer could wait for San Diego to get its act together.

But it’s not likely, and it certainly isn’t something that should be counted on by those of us who live here and believe that not only does the sun set just off our shore but rises just beyond Boulevard.

“We think very highly of the market, we think very highly of the stadium location, and we think very highly of the ownership group,” said MLS Deputy Commissioner Mark Abbott, who is spearheading the league’s expansion quest. “We would hate to see this opportunity be lost over the timing of the vote.”

It wasn’t a threat, Abbott stressed repeatedly in a Friday afternoon conversation. It was an expression of the reality that, given the circumstances, MLS likely would not wait for San Diego.
