Centreville Bank Stadium officially opened this past Saturday, May 3rd. An overflow crowd of 10,700 came out to see RIFC hold the Western Conference leading San Antonio FC to a scoreless draw. A flyover of helicopters started off the festivities under beautiful sunny skies. The weather turned with just minutes left in the game when a short rain downpour passed over. The rains came to an end in stoppage time with a rainbow appearing over the site. Parking was not as bad as many had feared. RIPTA provided free bus shuttles from the nearby satellite lots and many fans walked in a parade procession led by the fan drum corps (which the franchise hopes becomes a game tradition).
