AFC might be more than two years from opening their first MLS season, but the franchise is wasting no time getting ready.
Saturday, the club hosts the first in a series of meetings with supporters and season-ticket (deposit) holders at the downtown Los Angeles offices of Gensler, their stadium architects. The lead topic? Stadium design, supplemented by a programming workshop in which the fans will get a chance to offer feedback on their proposed home.
