NGS’ first large scale tifo display - July 13, 2013.

During the Cass Tech era, the primary pregame destination was Harry’s. Supporters & various SGs would take over the two story establishment on match day; Tetris (and its companion, the infamous Fuck Ohio chant) were pre-march traditions at the upstairs (open air) bar.

The band did not take song requests, despite DCFC supporters loudly asking.

In 2016, DCFC faced off against a third iteration of Michigan Stars FC (just peep those kits!)

At DCFC's 2015 home match against Erie (pictured), and in jest of their opponent's kit sponsor, many NGS members arrived with upside down Burger King crowns on their heads - or, in the picture's case, the Burger King's head in hand. #HateErie

Erie Commodores FC (aka #HateErie) is an early rival of DCFC, dating back to 2012 in the NPSL (4th division).

DCFC would lose its home fixture against Erie in 2012, resulting in City not hosting (but still qualifying for) playoffs that year.

Erie's primary kit sponsor was Burger King - the Whopper maker logo smacked squarely in the middle of their white-and-blue kits. It quickly became source material for DCFC supporters to ridicule relentlessly.

Eye witness reports came through shortly after the match that Davi was in fact in Detroit ... but was watching the match at DCFC's clubhouse bar, the City Clubhouse.

The match ended in a 0-1 loss for DCFC, but the boys in rouge still lifted a championship trophy that evening.

Andreas Davi is the owner of FC Milwaukee Torrent - an opponent of DCFC's men's side dating back to 2017 in the NPSL (4th division).

Back in 2017, DCFC and the Torrent faced off for the first time at City's home opener; it ended in a 3-3 draw.

Heading into the final match of 2019, Davi would not be in attendance at Keyworth; he was still under suspension. He did, however, travel to Detroit.

Prior to Keyworth, DCFC supporters regularly packed their then-home pitch, Cass Tech High School, for NPSL (4th division) matches.

Seen here: The line to enter Cass Tech on June 28, 2015. DCFC played in front of a then-record breaking crowd (3,701) defeating Lansing United 1-0.
