Since opening it’s doors at the beginning of the 2015 season, Avaya Stadium has not only become a fortress for the Earthquakes team, but also an inclusive place for their fans. In the spirit of equality, the team will host their annual Pride Night on Friday, marking the fourth straight season they have held such an event.
In light of the recent events in Orlando, the match will feature an opening ceremony to honor those that lost their lives in the nightclub tragedy last month. To support the LGBTQ community, the Earthquakes will also donate $1 for every ticket used to a variety of charities, including the OneOrlando Fund, Project MORE Foundation and San Jose’s local Billy DeFrank LGBTQ Community Center.
