# The Detroit Soccer Scene
Detroit is a soccer city hiding in plain sight — a blue-collar, fiercely proud metro where the game has thrived for over a century through waves of Polish, Italian, Albanian, and Latino immigration, and where Detroit City FC has created one of the most extraordinary supporter cultures in American soccer without a top-flight team.
Detroit City FC's NRDS faithful at Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck pack a 7,000-seat historic venue with a European-style passion that rivals any MLS club. The club's amateur-to-professional journey is one of American soccer's great stories. Meanwhile, the Detroit suburb corridor — Dearborn's Arab-American community, Hamtramck's multinational population, and the affluent soccer suburbs of Troy, Bloomfield Hills, and Rochester — sustain a remarkably complete soccer ecosystem from U6 through adult competition.
