Where We Stand

Detroit City FC, in collaboration with Uncommon Heights Productions, has launched “Where We Stand,” a monthly storytelling series dedicated to the people, perspectives and purpose behind the club’s future home, AlumniFi Field.

Each installment of this series will highlight different figures connected to the club and culture of Detroit City FC, offering insight into how this next phase resonates across the locker room, the front office, the stands and the city. By focusing on personal stories, “Where We Stand” aims to connect the physical development of a new stadium with the human elements that make it meaningful.

More than a construction project, this development represents a defining chapter in Detroit City FC’s ongoing story: one rooted in community, identity and long-term vision. Throughout “Where We Stand,” viewers will gain a closer look at the individuals whose voices and experiences are helping shape what comes next.

As the club enters a new era, “Where We Stand: On Purpose” explores what it means to build something bigger than a team, and how the lessons of the past continue to shape Detroit City FC’s vision for the future.
