Q2 Stadium
The First-Ever Austin FC Meet and Greet
Austin FC’s first-ever Meet the Team event took place Saturday, June 4, 2022, at Q2 Stadium.
I’ve been to these sorts of events for DC United and the Red Bulls and they had a decent amount of people attending. The Austin FC crowd was huge and so were the lines to meet the players and coaches.
There were five stations set up around the stadium in the Captain Morgan Club, Lexus Club, McKalla Corner, On-Camera Host Set, and Q2 Field Club.
The photos and signatures were set to start at 2:00 PM and I arrived a little before 12:30 PM to get in line. It was hot and they let us in at 1:00 PM.
We headed down to the Q2 Field Level club to be in A/C for a while before the event started. At around 1:40 PM the players came in and I got to get a ball signed by Felipe Martins and Jhohan Valencia. Then we headed out to the tunnel to the field to meet Ethan Finlay, Damian Las, and Diego Fagundez.
Each season ticket holder was given three tickets per person to redeem for food and drinks. That was a nice break to get some drinks after the first signing.
Then we headed to the line for Maxi Urruti, Danny Hoesen, Zan Kolmanic, and Hector Jimenez at the On-Camera Host Set.
After that line, we looked and the other lines were so long we figured we wouldn’t make it in to meet any more players, so we headed out.
It was really cool to meet some players and awesome to see such a big turnout. I can’t wait for the next match.

U.S. Soccer Returns to Q2 Stadium on June 10, 2022
The U.S. Soccer Federation announced that Q2 Stadium, home of Austin FC, will be the host venue for the U.S. Men’s National Team’s Concacaf Nations League opening match against Grenada.
The June 10 match at Q2 Stadium will kick off the USA’s defense of the CNL title, with kickoff time and broadcast information to be finalized in the near future.
This will be the third time the USMNT has come to Austin. Both previous matches resulted in wins.
USMNT defeated Qatar 1-0 in the Gold Cup semifinals in July 2021 and then defeated Jamaica 2-0 during World Cup qualifying in October 2021.
Along with Grenada, the USMNT was drawn into Group D of the Nations League A with El Salvador. The U.S. will travel to face La Selecta on June 14 in San Salvador.
After an exciting 3-2 defeat of Mexico in extra time of the inaugural championship match, the USMNT opens its title defense during the upcoming June FIFA international window.
A ticket pre-sale for Season Ticket Members of the Oak Collective will open on Tuesday, April 26 at 1 PM CT, and for Waitlist Members of the Oak Collective on Wednesday, April 27 at 9 AM CT.
Austin Airbnb for Austin FC Matches
I recently had a garage apartment built behind my house near downtown Austin and it’s now available on Airbnb to book for Austin FC matches.
This loft apartment, located in the Mueller neighborhood, is close to downtown Austin and can sleep up to 3 with a queen bed and couch that opens to a twin bed.
There is ample street parking for free and many restaurants and entertainment are walkable.
Q2 Stadium is 8 miles away from the apartment and you can get there by car/rideshare, bus, or train.
The Moontower Loft apartment has been booked each weekend since it opened in February and future dates are filling fast.
The next home match where it is currently available is Tuesday, July 12th, 2022 when Austin FC faces off against the Houston Dynamo at 8 PM at Q2 Stadium.
Also, if you happen to be a Liverpool fan, the apartment is about a 5-minute walk from the Austin Liverpool pub, B.D. Riley’s.
